Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 5757105, member: 439"] My favorite pastime in the 80’s and 90’s was getting the latest Street and Smith’s magazine in August and pouring over rosters. I’d look at every roster in the BE. Knew every player before the season even started. I also knew the HS recruits and beamed with joy when I saw names at the top of the list tagged as Syracuse commits. As the season progressed, I would look at the magazine and formulate what our roster would look like the following year and what other team’s rosters would look like. I cursed teams like UNC, UK and KU with all the MCDAA commits. But it was fun! Being able to look ahead and project who was going to develop, who may not, and the excitement of what possibilities the new HS guys would bring in next season. All of that is gone, and it sucks. I used to know every SU player by sight. And most other BE players. Now I’m lucky if I even remember the names on our current roster. [/QUOTE]
