Seen a lot of discussion since Saturday seemingly bashing the staff and JB and making it sound like we don't recruit to the level some think we should be.

Thought it was worth pointing out that here is the list of schools with more top 10 recruiting classes than us over the last decade (2007-2016, according to 247sports):

Kentucky, Arizona, Duke, Ohio St., UCLA, UNC.

That's it.

So I'd say we're doing just fine for ourselves.

I'm just as guilty as the next person of having grand illusions of some top 1 or 2 recruiting class to send Boeheim out on a high note when I saw how many top 2017 recruits we were in on, so it stings a little to have a somewhat down cycle.

But if you look back over the last 10 years or so, this is pretty normal ebb and flow to have 1 or 2 top 10 to 20ish type classes and then one that falls a little lower.

They're involved with a ton of kids in 2018 and 2019 as well so we'll be right back up there again next time!
 
For what it's worth, as a Kentucky fan I've always thought of Syracuse as a very formidable opponent in recruiting.

Well, we did get Dajuan Coleman... Wanna trade?
