Why would an elite immediate impact player pick Syracuse of all places?  We are never going to be in a place to massively overbid for the top talent as we will be up against the SEC for those players.  So lets say for certain elite players we can get close why would they pick Syracuse?

-We are a lower-end ACC team that will be coming off a losing record
-Our "brand" has been on a serious decline haven't made the tournament in half a decade
-We haven't had a player drafted into the NBA in over a decade
-Our coach doesn't look like he really knows what he is doing and looks like he will not be here past next year.
-ACC is down compared to SEC, BIG 12 and BIG 10
-We are CW's team

Why would an elite-level player ever choose to come here?  They will have so many other option?   The players we will be looking at are the level of Eddie Lampkin.  Who are P4 level talented players but with clear flaws that are not NBA material and looking for the highest pay day they can get.  Those are the type of P4 players we will be looking for and then those players have to value money over winning.  Otherwise, we will be looking at lower-level hidden gem types and hoping Kline is better than Red and finding talent.
