Brother of Jashon correct?

His father Kelron Sykes played linebacker at Oregon State and is a scout involved with Future Pro 5 Star Combines.

Jashon is his uncle.

Looks like he's got the build to eventually play tight end, according to his dad.

Chandler HS 2014 WR Dionte Sykes has verbal offers from UCLA, Arizona State, Syracuse, Oregon State, Colorado, Michigan. Having huge spring.

Looks like he is at Chandler High now. We have a solid relationship with that school...

This is a big one for us, not to understate it.

[Highwalker]

Can definitely tell he and Jayshon are related. I would have thought it was Jayshon's son not his nephew

[DowntownBuff]

This is a big one for us, not to understate it.
I agree. Coaches need a full court press starting with Jayshon.

[TuffBuff32]

If we don't get this one I'll be pissed because I see the rest of the P12 pulling down gems because of their great uncle or some ****. I'd say playing for uncle way better then most other relatives.

Dionte on Jashon vs his dad who went to Oregon St:


If anyone in my family had an influence on where I go to college, it would be my uncle at Colorado.

Very interesting, good find.

We need to get this kid.

[Jaximus]

I may be missing something here... He's got a good lineup of offers. But I'm not seeing elite talent in that film. Are his stats pretty good for a sophomore? Is this a case of bloodline recruiting?

[FLounder]

CU lock.

You know he's a freshman in the film you're watching, right?

It's gonna be between us and UCLA. Come on Dionte, we need you in the black and gold!

[Jaximus]

It says he's a sophomore. The sound track also states over and over that "bitch better have my money". Maybe that's why these schools are offering?

Caption in the vid says
Rising Sophomore Dionte Sykes Highlights from 4 games.

[Jaximus]

So... His film is of him as a sophomore... He'll be a Junior this year and a Senior in 2014.

Please tell me you're not getting semi-upset over the music.

But CVille, he'll be a junior this fall.

can we win a battle for a wr named dionte(yes i know the spelling is different)... i sure freaking hope so

[Jaximus]

I'm not upset or semi-upset. But I think there are better choices. I also may not have been offered by CU because I sent them a VHS with nothing but silence and static.

Fair enough.

I know that, not sure where I ever remotely implied otherwise. The point was the film was of him as a rising sophomore.

Tweet from Dionte to Jaron Hopkins:
i think i have to pos rep you

[J-R-K]

I saw a tweet a couple days ago from a recruiting guru saying that Dionte was on the verge of committing to CU (cant remember the source). However this was before the firing of D-3 Jon so things might have changed. He's also been given a 4-star rating by 247 Sports.

[lawdogg]

I'm pretty sure that young Mr. Sykes may be moving on at this point.

[CUBuffs12]

He may be but the next staff cannot ignore Arizona specifically the Phoenix area.

CU lock.

Not one of my better posts...

[HotRack]

We suck.

[Buffnik]

When Jashon left for SDSU, you had to figure that landing Dionte was going to be an uphill battle.

[Duff Man]

UCLA will bump some commits late in the process.

[CUFan]

We suck.Oh what we have become... This one makes me :puke:
