Message: [QUOTE="JeffCuse, post: 3610721, member: 1151"] Agreed. There is nothing hyperbolic about the idea that we are at the bottom. Seriously. Look at the teams in P5. the last handful of years, we are absolutely in the bottom...say...5. I dont want us to be there. But, I say this again, the tendency of the Syracuse fan to deflect, dismiss, or make excuses is uncanny and unlike that of any other sports fan base I am a part of. No Syracuse fan ever thought we would overtake Clemson (unless you count the excitement that we could maybe just maybe challenge them in the Dome, excitement that was destroyed by the team's play and coaching in Maryland). Yes - this year has posed unique challenges. But unique to the year, not the program. And we managed it uniquely badly. Is it possible that maybe, just maybe, our roster would have been able to manage the injuries and COVID opt outs better if we had actually improved our recruiting more significantly under Dino's watch?
