Consider the hypothetical stated here:
 
We just recruited a 5 man recruiting class with many short and long term needs filled, with one player at every position. Ennis and Roberson are potentially immediate impact talents, while the rest are more project types.  Nobody we have recruited is going to stop Dakari Johnson or Ender Wiggins from coming to Syracuse.
 
Coleman, Christmas,  and Fair might... No number one recruit wants to come to a school with any risk of being a bench player, yet the experienced and talented players listed might be able to prevent them from starting immediately, which is as much as saying they will keep Johnson or Wiggins from coming to Syracuse.
 
However, if we have a great season this season, it seems reasonable to think that several of our players will enter the draft.
 
If either of Coleman or Christmas leave, that opens up a starting role for Johnson immediately.  If Fair leaves, it opens up a starting role for Wiggins immediately.
 
This is why both will commit in the spring after all the early draft entries are determined.
 
If we get neither of them, we will still be just fine, if we get either, we will be golden.  One can dream about getting both!
 
Of course, if Coleman, Christmas, MCW and Fair all play well enough to go pro, we have plenty to be happy about already, no matter who decides to commit in the spring.
