Message: [QUOTE="UticaCuse, post: 1275907, member: 339"] This isn't directed at you because it is said all of the time around here, but I HATE this argument. It is us saying as fans that our team is second tier or that our coaches don't know what they are doing in recruiting. Honestly, if Shafer and company aren't trying to recruit over players on a team that went 3-9 then we are in serious trouble. Every year, every coaching staff should be trying to find players they believe can compete and beat out their current lineup for starting spots. We want players like young Mr. Clark to WANT the competition... To constantly prove they are the best at their position and welcome the challenge. The use of this argument that other schools will recruit over a player and Syracuse would not as a positive to me speaks volumes of how fans view our program. [/QUOTE]
