Message: [QUOTE="Toronto Cuse, post: 2142515, member: 1842"] Not sure why anyone thinks Mike Mennenga would leave Oregon to come to Syracuse? Even if we were interested, I think it would be unrealistic to assume he views coming here as our #2/#3 assistant as a better opportunity. Not sure he'd even consider it. Proximity to Canada doesn't matter nor the fact that he's a CNY guy. Recruiting budget from Nike and the fact that he's already built the fence around his Canadian relationships makes location a non factor for him from a recruiting perspective. Most of the good Canadian talent is exported to the United States for high school anyways or they play at Athlete Institute where his relationships are the strongest of any assistant in America. So unless his wife is just dying to leave beautiful Eugene Oregon to return home to CNY, it makes no sense for him. [/QUOTE]
