it depends on your definition of mediocre.  Given our normal history of recruiting, we most certainly DO NOT have a very good recruiting class coming in next year.  I think Gurrier is under the radar and same with Goodine but we all kind of hope we are right about that because we didn't sign any Top 75 kids.  If you look at the history of SU recruiting, we don't rival Kansas, Duke, UNC or UK but we usually are in the Top 15-20 for recruiting but not so this year.  Heck, even UCONN has a far better class on paper than we do.   By a long shot!  Yes, I guess that the prognosticators are not always right and we recruit to the system but I have news for you..we would take all or most of those guys in the Top 75 but we just couldn't get them.  That is the reality.  And, yes, we played 3 of the Top 5 teams in the country but saying we played competitively is not enough, especially when "for the most part" is added to the equation.  We have to stop giving ourselves excuses.  SU is now consistently not a Top 20 team and wallows in the 25-50 category. certainly not where we want to be.  So maybe we aren't mediocre by most people's definition but by a Syracuse fans definition, we seem to fir that description.
