E. All of the above.
But do we really need a third thread to discuss the recruiting woes!!!???
You jest, I'm sure. But at SU, they have to go to class. Simple as that. If they aren't interested in that, they can go to UK or L'Ville.I'm sure recruits are finding deficiencies in SU's senior level course offerings, thus reducing their prospects for grad school opportunities.
We'd better get that fixed soon.
Finally someone nailed it.I'm sure recruits are finding deficiencies in SU's senior level course offerings, thus reducing their prospects for grad school opportunities.

One could argue that if #1 is important to a kid, we should get him. Based upon recent draft success. Ennis and Richardson had no business being in the first round, based upon rankings and draft projections. But, Syracuse was able to highlight them in a way few other schools could and boom, they are one and done.Three things have impacted recruiting:
1. One and done - higher stakes on getting on the right team, with the right visibility, good playing time and the right coach
2. Syracuse raising recruiting profile with Hopkins, Melo Center and potential international trips on USA or other teams, so that high caliber recruits are initially very positive about coming to SU
3. Success of other schools such as Kentucky, Duke and Kansas in promoting one and done.
The net effect is last minute losses to schools (#3) that are able to meet #1 best at decision time - and often that is very late in the recruiting process when decisions to stay in the draft are made by players on the roster already.
Hopkins leaving has had an additional detrimental effect.
He is 72. No Hop. Zone.We got Bazley so for the time being, i'll be "runnin through the 6 with my woes.."
I ate crow in the Bazley thread - Let me throw around Drake lyrics in peace.He is 72. No Hop. Zone.
A little constructive criticism is fine, but this is a fan site. It isn't a bitch and moan site. It irks me to see a number of negative threads on our beloved syracusefan site. We need a separate area where people can let off steam. Kind of like I just did.I'm happy to eat crow, and already posted that in the Bazely thread. I think we're off to a great start with the 2018 class.
But, as many pointed out that losing Swider didn't mean the sky is falling, the same is true with Bazely. Signing one recruit doesn't mean that all of the worries are gone.
Signing Bazely does make me more optimistic. 2018 is our best chance to get a big class because if we don't 2019 will be one year closer to the end of JB's tenure. So let's celebrate the moment and go nail down our best class in years! Go Orange!!!!!

Can I choose the woes are overblown as a write in vote, and we did pretty well?
