So far 27 players from NYS in the class of 2025 have P4 offers.

Over 35 have BCS level offers.

Those numbers are extremely high for a finished class, forget about one that has around 10 more months to the April NLOI day.  Not sure if there even is an April NLOI day any longer, but the point remains.

This class is extremely deep.  Might end up with 35 players going to P4 level schools and 45 going to BCS schools.  I am guessing numbers like this will constitute a record for depth.  The numbers are already close to record setting.

However, the class lacks in star power.  NYS often has a HS AA type player or two.  True national recruits.  Joseph and Byrne are pretty close to that but not quite there.

The biggest reason is the Syracuse staff.  They set the stage for recruits in NYS.  If SU is not interested, a lot of other schools will take that as evidence the player is not a good prospect and will not pursue them.

I think all the offers Syracuse has made to NYS kids in the class of 2025 (23 by my count), are sending a strong signal to all college football coaching staffs that NYS HS football is alive and well and worth looking closely at.
