Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 2130503, member: 1958"] I think it would be very difficult for him at 73 to flip that switch back on after he's taken such a large step back in recent years. Also, if he does step that back up then realistically how big of a toll does that take on a guy at 73, 74, 75, etc. years old? I mean we aren't betting on a 50 or 60 year old JB to get locked in and crank it all the way up. I'm not sure how much gas he has in the tank at his age. It's nothing personal it's just the fact that people slow quite a bit as they age, especially through their 70's. If I'm battling Syracuse for a recruit it's a no brainer to just tell their parents and the kid that there's a great chance if you go to Syracuse the group of coaches recruiting you won't be there when you graduate so why roll the dice on a mystery new coaching staff.
