I would've drafted BC late but my POD Geography wasn't there. What I found amazing was Ole Miss was still available with the 64th pick. Flagship, great FB recruiting area, Exc Tailgating and school spirit, rising Hoops program...a steal at 64.
 
BTW, I was surprised Rutgers didn't get picked but they really do have some pathetic sports programs, scandal and lots of debt
 
Let me throw this out for discussion: Was Cuse (taken at #44 by Arbs) a steal at #44, about right or taken too soon? IMHO I saw Cuse as a 13th or even a 14th round pick. So I think they were taken a round or two too soon.
 
Cuse pros: Tradition, National Championships in different sports, Overall sports teams are strong,  State Flagship by default, Doesn't carry but can get you into NYC market, Elite Hoops w/elite attendance, FB team plays indoors to overcome some bad weather in October and November
 
Cuse Cons: Hasn't had sustained excellence in 15 years in FB, FB attendance and culture is mediocre, no IPF and overall facilities are not nationally in the Top 50, Dome is structurally sound but spartan, weather can hurt recruiting, geography can restrict it to only one or two possible leagues, Still some scandal stink from Bernie Fine and NCAA inquiries into Hoops.
