The off season is certainly fun to debate these things as we long and await for the action to resume.  It's difficult to prove that the zone is actually hurting recruiting just as much as your above quote:  [I]'Well, Lydon and Grant were nowhere near Top 25 and both are in the NBA after 2 years at Syracuse. That's a testament to our program.'
[/I]
Where's the proof there to support that our program is what made Lydon and Grant drafted?  Lydon hit the scene his frosh year and many thought he should've gone after that.  Maybe, Lydon making it to the NBA had everything to do about Tyler vs. Syracuse?  Grant too.  Grant had immediate family play in the NBA, whom were very solid players at that, so it wasn't outside of the realm that Jeremy may follow suit, no?

It's great to argue that our program is the reason the aforementioned (as well as others) is the proximate cause of getting to the NBA, but it's also probable that they would've found their way there had they landed at other schools.  Unless, of course, you can prove otherwise.  ;)
