It's been nearly two days, and the buzz still hasn't worn off for the Syracuse corner of the internet. Highly-rated football recruit Robert Washington committed to the Orange on Saturday, bringing with him about as much hype and hope as any SU commit ever has. And while the obvious benefits of Washington come from his (eventual) on-field production, he could end up being the first of several big-name recruits to look SU's way this recruiting cycle.
Of course, "looking our way" is one thing -- and that happens a decent amount already with notable recruits. But what Washington brings is an early, meaningful endorsement.
