Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 3590629, member: 1312"] Here is another way to look at it. There are 163 players in the NFL who are from NY, PA, NJ, and New England. How many of them went to Syracuse? 4. That's totally unacceptable. And, to your argument of bigger programs coming into NY to grab top prospects, out of the 35 NY kids in the NFL, only 4 went to top programs, 3 from Penn St. and 1 from Ohio St. Here are the NFL players from the local FBS programs recruited from NY, PA, NJ, and New England: Penn St. 23 Temple 20 Rutgers 14 Pitt 13 BC 9 UConn 8 Syracuse 4 Buffalo 2 UMass 1 Don't you think Syracuse should produce more than 4 NFL players from the recruiting backyard? This has to be fixed. Temple (TEMPLE!) is doing a far better job of finding recruits in NJ than Syracuse. Unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
