Depends on how much the ground has shifted in CBB. How much is HC, recruiting, NIL, uneven conference $, talent migration, etc.
I fear we’ll get a new coach who will inherit the same landscape but with less recruiting chops and more pressure
Culture is important in college hoops.
The Dome and the fanbase will support the basketball program.
Two entire classes of Syracuse students will have come and gone without seeing a conference basketball on campus with 2 ranked teams playing.
The program isn’t going to become Boston College or Wake Forest.
The program infrastructure is a lot stronger. The next HC needs to be able to actually sell the positives of the program and recruit hard.
It’s not hard to win consistently in basketball like football.
Villanova, Baylor have winning DNA now.
You really like to contrarian positions.
This frustration isn’t a one or two year buildup.
The HC since he lost Hopkins until last offseason coasted on recruiting.
This program needs energy.
NIL is so overrated as an issue. Syracuse Basketball never relied on top 20 recruits.
It’s bread and butter are 4 star athletes.
Recruiting can be fixed with a change in coaching philosophy.
These kids want to play in the NBA and not 100% zone.
