Message: [QUOTE="Nick44, post: 3598560, member: 540"] So in the 1st round of the last draft, 20 of the top 32 players came from a factory school, which I define as, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Auburn and Oregon. This new transfer rule will push that statistic to 30 players a year that come from the same 5-6 factory schools (maybe the 6th school is a rotation between a few). I get the it’s irrelevant for a Syracuse because of where the program currently sits compared to the rest of college football but it’s a barometer that illustrates the gap that exists. And if a Syracuse does find such a player that would be a 1st round pick, what’s to stop another school from trying to poach that player? Especially if that player still plays for a program that has the Pinstripe Bowl or equivalent as its ceiling? [/QUOTE]
