Congrats Coach McNamara! This is probably very wishful thinking and way too good to be true, but at the power program level, you are going to need to be a high end 4 or 5 star player to even get a roster spot as a freshmen moving forward. I think it would be very cool moving forward if Siena-Syracuse basically becomes a partnership. Gerry gets the type of Syracuse players that would be 4 year guys, develops them for 2-3 years, feeds them into the big stage at Syracuse. Vice versa, Syracuse feeds Siena players that need to move down a level. I think the next step for coaches at the power conference level is to really formally create alliances with mid to low major schools to navigate the transfer portal and NIL world. This probably crosses NCAA tampering lines, but I think it can be beneficial for both programs to basically be partners like an NBA team to a g league team.
