I think what's confusing for me, and perhaps for others too, is that when some of us point out that the program is descending because of the NCAA sanctions, "the lame duck JB" who is being negatively recruited against, and the change in recruiting staff, we are labeled as negative.  But it's permissible for other posters to use these factors to defend the decline.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful at all, but merely point out that it's got to work both ways.  I don't think the sanctions or lame duck JB should be ignored at all.

Syracuse, right now, faces serious challenges recruiting.  I think we sometimes forget the common denominator in the equation: we are all Syracuse fans or we wouldn't be in this board.  We all want the team to be successful.  In the meantime, we're not very supportive of each other's opinions, ideas or solutions.

There's always two sides, no matter how thin, to each pancake.  I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you.  They are all valid reasons for our recruiting difficulties.  It's just that some of us don't see anyone stopping the negative recruiting strategies (they're working).  And JB's age (unless someone knows how to lend him the fountain of youth) isn't going to start reversing itself.
