I think talk of age is ridiculous.  Maybe you get younger with some recruiters but talk of motivation and X and Os and things like that is stupid.  Just look at football coaches.  They can motivate.  John Danowski is  65.  Corrigan has to be 60, Lars Tiffany is early 50's, Andy Shay, Tambroni and Tillman are all 49.

I don't know what Desko's deal is.  Are their schemes that awful?  IDK.  I think he relied on a bunch of Micheal Jordan's over the years and not having those caliber players sort of expose the schemes.

Talk of parity ?  Sure talent is spread around more, there's no denying it, but is there really parity ?  it doesn't seem to effect a handful of traditional schools.

Teams left right now:

Penn State (sure newbie team but not a newbie coach)
Loyola
Yale
Penn
Virginia
Maryland
Duke
Notre Dame

Same as it ever was if you ask me.  And it's like this every year except you don't see Syracuse.  And the board is wrought with a bunch of excuses.

Yale, Penn, Duke and Notre Dame - all expensive schools with way more stringent academic standards than Syracuse.  Oh and Loyola, MD tuition is higher than Syracuse so there's that to.

I have several coaches I would make a play for (one being Andy Shay) but I'm all in on Dan Chemotti.   No better pedigree imo.  What he's done at Richmond is remarkable.  Played for Messerre and played for John Danowski.  In terms of influences it doesn't get any better than that imo.  Has a NYS title, has 2 NCAA titles.  Was an All-American and played professionally.  He's a Syracuse guy.
