Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 4849534, member: 615"] We tend to demonize what Jake didn’t do but what he did do was as impressive as any ad in SU history record wise The facility arm race did spiral out of control but as of October 1993 we touted our facilities. How do I know? I reread Fall River dreams the book about Chris herren. Last chapter is his recruitment and Syracuse came in late to try and steal him from bc. Boeheim is quoted in the book explaining that our facilities were better than anyone in the northeast. Herren agreed when he visited Manley in 93. Not saying this is a case closed argument but Jake probably wasn’t being harassed by boeheim and pasqualoni about an absolute need to upgrade. By 2000 things certainly changed but these things happen slowly then suddenly. It’s hard to look at things in a vacuum [/QUOTE]
