Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 513170, member: 338"] Look, you can't "lock a kid up" if he doesn't view Syracuse as his state school, where he should simply want to go like kids do in every other part of the country. Not saying it happened here (seems he is chasing a dream to play RB and fell for a bait-and-switch), but that is the reality of NYS football right now. Kids don't feel any affinity toward the school, as an institution. How are you going to "lock kids up" when they have that mindset? Recruit them hard, sure, but IMO I would rather get good players from somewhere else if they really want to be at SU, without having to bend over backwards just to get them to realize something they should already know.
