I'd have to believe that weather had or has, little to do with the kids we've signed lately. And I'm willing to concede that if the opposite were true and SU had 90-degrees and beaches, then perhaps yes, it would be seen as an attribute.
In fairness to ESPN and some of these recruiting sites and how they're reacting to suddenly seeing "Syracuse" popping up on their radar, this is fairly new to them. We haven't been relevant in any aspect of CFB for 2 decades. And yet here we are pulling in highly rated, sought after recruits and portals, and they don't yet know how to deal with it.
Since they can't answer the question "Why Syracuse", they resort to all the negative connotations that have evolved over 20+ years of mediocrity...and weather is always near the top of the list. Followed by "not enough of a recruiting base", and "no commitment to the program", blah blah blah
The more we win, in recruiting and on the field, then the narratives will HAVE to change. For right now, let 'em insinuate what they want.  After all...they didn't know, it's not their fault!  
Oh, wait.
