This is great stuff Sholo.  I've been thinking as well, if I were recruiting for SU, how would I change my strategy given the large number of decommitments they are experiencing.  However, with the recruiting changes (no contact until Sep 1 of junior year), I think there are less changes needed than we initially might think.  Commitments from juniors SHOULD be more solid because it's closer to the date when they will actually make their final decision of where they will attend college.

Also, Sholo, you and I have discussed what the SU coaches are looking for in recruits, and I have made the point that it seems like they're looking for someone who REALLY wants to attend Syracuse.  Another way to say it is someone with a Syracuse connection, like Brendan Curry, Nate Solomon, Owen Seebold or Griffin Cook.  This will hopefully continue to be a way for the coaches to get committed and talented players.

I also wonder if the geography of recruits changes a little bit.  Maybe SU focuses a little more on their backyard, and less on places where kids don't grow up watching SU sports.  I'm from the midwest and live there now, so I hope SU keeps looking for good players from the midwest.  The emphasis has been on athletes lately, like Oladunmoye, Dieball, Nick Martin.
