Hampton gets Syracuse QB Transfer

Post by dbackjon »

Hampton University's football coaches might want to consider sending some flowers to David Legree's cousins.

Legree, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound quarterback who left Syracuse earlier this month, plans to transfer to Hampton and play for the Pirates in 2009.

He first heard about the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) school from three female relatives who are students at HU.

"They made me feel the right way about the school, so I gave the coach a call," Legree said by phone Wednesday. "I got real close with the coaches, and I felt like that's where I needed to be."

This had been brewing for a while. My only hope is that he behaves better at Hampton than he did at SU. We don't play that at Hampton. He will find a ticket home in his room and his bags packed if he pulls that crap at Our Home by the Sea.

What is it about Syracuse that draws the athletes that find trouble? This guy, Devendorf, etc.

Being a Montanan, you probably can't relate :lol: , but they recruit big city kids from areas further south (DC, Baltimore, Atlanta, etc.) and bring them to a really small town where it snows more than Alaska and the kids get stuck inside with nothing to do. They get restless, and they cause trouble.

I went to a wedding in Syracuse. Place is depressing.
"Elaine, you're from Baltimore, right?"
"Yes, well, Towson actually."
