I don't think anything compares with the Thompson / White recruitments in terms of how drawn out and uncertain they were.  To have both of those back-to-back in the same offseason was strange.

I think that Kenny Anderson was our biggest "miss" in program history.  What a circus that turned into.  He was an eyelash away from coming to Syracuse before getting $wayed at the 11th hour by Georgia Tech.  May have cost us a national championship -- I'll always dislike Kenny Anderson for that.

Marbury was a similar circus.  Just a shocking glimpse into the seedy underbelly of major college hoops recruiting.

I was incredibly disappointed that we lost out on Donyell Marshall, which ended up being a massively negative double edged sword for us.  Stupid NCAA.

I remember being pleasantly surprised when we landed John Wallace -- not because we landed him since he was in our backyard, but because we had the NCAA sanctions looming and I figured Wallace was Kansas-bound.
