And Atlanta is alot farther from his home than Syracuse.
And he’s put his name in the portal and leaving GT so there’s also that.

P followed Mac. Things were already established. Dino followed Shafer. That right there is why.
The Dino leaving rumors hurt us in recruiting a lot more then people believe.
Sucks we couldn't sustain last's years momentum see a fairly big jump in recruiting.

I'm not bashing P . What I was saying was that Mac had turned the program around from what it was under Maloney. P did a great job at SU and they shouldn't have fired him. The difference is Dino inherited a losing program that needed to be turned around.P made the putt though. I always hate the narrative since he followed Mac he did nothing and let it die. Sure he lost his mojo at the end but to lose it u had to have it.
Took that Mac program into a feisty 1990s program. Let’s pump the brakes on bashing P. The more coaches that come through Syracuse the more I appreciate what he did and the leaders he brought through.
Dino would be smart to pick his brain perhaps during the summer and figure out diff perspectives on how to create success and what he did right and wrong. Dino has to fix this first through his coaching this offseason
I don't have a number but it was a fairly large factor that was hurting usReally? How many recruits did we miss on that that was the main reason they didn’t come here?

Like most things recruiting I've not heard it directly from a recruit but it's been said that it's impacted us. Might be smoke might not be, but I would be 100% shocked if coaches didn't use Dino's past moving around to negatively impact Syracuse.Do you know that, not saying that to be a jerk but I haven’t heard that from anyone I trust. Never heard that we lost a number of players because of that specifically.

I personally haven’t heard that from people who know a decent amount. I know coaches say that for sure but in this day in age it’s hard to find a coach that you couldn't say that about. When he got the contract extension it was also a little harder to say that, that helped but again I don’t know of any specific big impact recruits we lost for that specific reason.
There are definitely people who hear more than I do though so I’m curious if there is something to that.
