Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 3509247, member: 668"] Whenever we lose local or in state talent on the hoops side (which is somewhat frequentl) it's stated often here how kids just [I]want to get away[/I]. So, playing devils advocate, even if there was a sufficient amount of state talent to pick from, who's to say many of those kids too don't "just want to get away" and/or simply choose other schools? Syracuse being a private institution, also bears no allegiance/pride to that "Flagship" type school that so many other state's kids growing up possess, so I think that could be, imo, even a larger issue/hurdle, if there was plenty of state talent. This isn't anything really new relative to NYS D1 talent, and there's been a lot of time to adapt/[I]'roll with the changes'[/I] so to speak. [/QUOTE]
