Even Shafer said that if he could get the local kids, he'd rather have them over the non-locals.  The recruiting is not as "specialized" as you think.  You keep asking if the last class was good as if that should end the conversation.  Yes it was good but there were lots of misses too that Shafer himself acknowledged---especially in our backyard.  So it could have been better.  Isn't that what we're trying to be?  Better?  The 6-hour radius kids are the ones you primarily target for junior days.  We have a major advantage over our local competition in PSU, BC, Rutgers, and even Pitt in terms of gameday atmosphere and quality of program when it comes to b'ball.  Why wouldn't you take advantage of that?  What kind of advantage are we leveraging by inviting kids to the Spring game, with 5K in the stands and often conflicting with some other area program's Spring game?  At least in b'ball season, we have a puncher's chance of getting the top recruits to show up for a Syracuse b'ball game over a PSU b'ball game.  The Syracuse spring game vs. PSU's is not much of a competition.
