I sure hope you are right, as I must say even though it is early, we seem to be having quite a different strategy in recruiting than what was being said last year. Again, I have mixed feelings on getting JUCO transfers, as it is guaranteed short term, plus they have to fit and learn a new system. I'm going back to another earlier thread, can't believe that a school of Syracuse's magnitude, and I have lived all over the country now, with a very strong base, and strong media ties and academic program, that we can't seem to turn the corner. There is absolutely no reason in my mind why we shouldn't be near the top in recruiting in the Big East, period. At the end of the Pasquloni Era with SU, we began a spiral downward in recruiting which we have yet to recover from. I am just talking recruiting guys, not the big picture. And as for NY dominance, I will believe that when we are pulling in the J. Jones, Ishaq Williams and potentially the high escilian players out of the state of NY like Smith, Laviano or Officer along with a huge contingent of good NY and NYC talent. Lets keep the talent home and if some of you guys are right about these kids from NYC, we can be OK this recruiting year, but I beleieve I speak for many, OK is not good enough. Top 30 each year is where this program needs to be if we expect a full turn around in the program.
