Restore 44? Were Syracuse to do that, which current players might wear the number?
Let's begin by establishing one thing: What you're about to read isn't a case for any current Syracuse Orange player to don the prestigious no. 44. Rather, it's simply an attempt to answer (or at least narrow down the potential answers) to one queston: If any current SU player were to wear no. 44, who should/could it be?
Truth is, coming off a 3-9 season, there probably isn't a player worthy of wearing no. 44 on this roster. But, hypotheticals are fun, so I present to you five players who might have a case for the number, if not right away, then at some point:
Syracuse's second leading scorer in 2014, Ishmael should be quarterback Terrel Hunt's top target in 2015.
