How long until...

[Quazzum69]

Cuse is the destination on the Atlantic Coast?

With the recent manhandling of one of the bluebloods of college basketball and the likely drubbing of the other (Duke) in at least one of the games, how long until the top ten players have us first on their lists? I'm not complaining about our system because obviously it works, but we are due for another Carmelo Anthony and a title or two. Do high schoolers consider RPI and SOS in their decisions or if we consistently best Duke and UNC do we overtake them as the premier destination in the league? They haven't really had serious competition in a while.

How do you choose UNC or Duke over Syracuse after this year?

Two things:

First, perhaps more than any other consistent top 10-caliber program, we recruit for system. Our team success is not predicated upon needing to land three 4-star recruits in every class to fill holes, because...

Second, we are already recruiting like gangbusters. We don't need to land a class of 4 five stars every year; we blend experience with dynamic impact players. What a run we're on on the recruiting trail!
