Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 791186, member: 289"] Jim Boeheim was discussing recruiting on his show one time and said that by far the biggest factor was the player's relationship with the coaches. I think the next biggest factor is whether we are winning these days and how we look on the field. A 0-56 loss on TV hurts us more than the infrastructure at Manley. The recruits aren't building inspectors. The joke is really on the schools that built expensive facilities to recruit teenagers when we don't really know how they will turn out until they get here. Their ratings are snapshots of them as they are or appear to be early in their careers. We've never had glamorous facilities, except for the Dome in the early days and we've had many good teams over the years. Those schools with the palaces are not always good and we've beaten a lot of them. [/QUOTE]
