i think you missed my original point ... we made no effort (none whatsoever) to see whether there was interest despite a significant need at the position.  Many of the schools that reached out to him as a grad transfer were also part of his recruitment out of high school. And each were turned down.  So it is immaterial whether SU was unsuccessful the first time around. So was everyone else, including VaTech. Finally, whether Johnny would have said yes to a Syracuse offer this time around is likewise immaterial ... I can tell you he would’ve listened, I can also say with certainty (and I think you agree) we need more experienced talent for the 2021 OL. The fact we didn’t take the opportunity to make our case that Syracuse was his best choice is what is so disappointing to me. As you know, I bleed orange and only want success for SU and this staff ... here’s hoping the staff finds a way to fix things (it’s not just the OL, although the OL is a significant part).

As for why the staff chose not to contact him (that‘s my hope as opposed to an oversight) is beyond me ... but I’ll eventually find out. Work and then COVID has kept me out of Syracuse for a long time ... so meetings with the staff haven’t occurred ... hope to rectify that in 2021.

Happy New Year
