Message: [QUOTE="AustinCuse, post: 2235830, member: 1799"] 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. [/QUOTE]
