Message: [QUOTE="orangeinjersey, post: 512806, member: 1961"] I know these kids are just that, kids, but their logic is head scratching sometimes. When Gus committed it was all about the family and brotherhood of playing with his good buddies and former teammates. He also cited the improved facilities. So the coaching staff leaves, the two things he cited as reasons why he committed in the first place have not changed, yet he is considering decommitting, lol. I dont really blame the kids, they are kids, dont really know better. But I do blame the handlers, parents, guardians etc. I wish for once these kids would be honest, and say "When I committed to Syracuse, they were the only show in town, now some of the bigger dogs are offering me, and I'd rather go there." Even though they are the 2nd, 3rd, 4th options after school X has whiffed on their primary targets. During the EO recruitment, I always had a feeling that EO felt too big for SU, and wanted to be known as a NATIONAL recruit. So he chooses Clemson. Now dont get me wrong, Clemson football day experience to the SU gameday experience is NIGHT AND DAY, and there are plenty of reasons to pick Clemson, but the BS reasoning he gave during the UA Allstar game was mind boggling, closer to home? Ishaqs dad was right, the coaches are always going to take care of the reigional recruits first. You think Clemson or Miami are going to care if they bury these kids on the bench, of course not. Miami has been medicorce for YEARS. They MAY get the NCAA hammer. Miami is 1300 miles away from Staten Island. Golden could leave for another job next year, then what? I just dont get the logic these kids use to pick schools. If Gus commits to Miami, I wish he would just be honest and say Miami is my dream school. I'd rather that than the BS coaches left even though ALL OF HIS FRIENDS are still here lol. [/QUOTE]
