The people on this site (including me) have to realize we are in a different world than the glory days. of Cuse.  ESPN and Pearl made Cuse what we were for almost a decade, then we had Melo and since then we have been on borrowed time.  The top recruits shun Syracuse and we are no longer a consistently Top 25 team, let alone a Top 10 team.  Between the sanctions, the change to the ACC, the negative recruiting against Boeheim, the mantra that the zone only hurts NBA players and miscellaneous other things, we have been relegated to the also rans in the ACC.  Do I hate it?  Yes, I loathe it.  But we just don't have the same panache as we use to and, in the ACC, if you aren't Duke and UNC, you are next tier and maybe we sit with the Louisville's and Virginia's if we are lucky.  I bleed Orange but I am a realist and as disappointing as it is, that is the truth.  The Final Fours were an anomaly the last 5 years...and I have a hunch that our zone defense will continue to befuddle tournament teams so we will make some runs..but the glory days...they are gone.  I sure as hell hope we figure out a way for them to come back because besides Nova, we should be recruiting and getting commitments from the top players in the Northeast and right now that just isn't happening. I still have faith...I always have hope.  GO ORANGE!
