It's after the 4th of July and activity on the board is beginning to pick up a bit which means we are over the early summer doldrums and although Football season is what is closest, with basketball recruiting entering it's next phase conjecture on the formation of the next class is heating up.
It's also exciting that the board is rapidly approaching 300,000 messages with just a little more than 4,000 to go it won't be long before the board reaches that milestone. I remember back in the days when it was virtually impossible to get any information at all on the upcoming season or to get any kind of pulse whatsoever as to what was happening with recruiting. I remember going and buying Athlelon magazines which covered recruiting and while most of the coverage was primarily football you were able to dig up a bone or two about basketball if you were lucky and most of it was dated material.
There is a lot about College Basketball which has changed and there is a lot of complaining about ways that the game has changed but one thing that has drastically improved is the amount of information which is available with regard to teams, players, recruiting and statistics. This board is in my opinion the best incarnation for staying plugged into all things Syracuse Basketball and I think the moderators and those responsible for setting this board up deserve a lot of credit. I know I appreciate it and if you think back to some of the other forums in the past and what's offered at some other locations... I'll mention no names... This place ROCKS in comparison.
Having lived in Florida now since 93 and having few chances to see Syracuse play, mostly limited to when they've played Florida or USF , this board is the lifeline for staying in touch with what's happening with the program. I'm looking forward to seeing the Cuse play in Tallahassee and although it's a 5 1/2 hour drive from Ocala you can bet I'll be there representing with a good sized contingent when it happens. Just a shout out to everyone who makes this such a great place to visit every day!!!
