Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 205778, member: 229"] It's not overblown at all and Syracuse could be having more than one junior day like most sch0ols. People have cited Michigan and there will be the crowd who says we can't compete against Michigan but I've read recent quotes from recruits regarding junior days at Virginia, Rutgers, Uconn, Florida (which also killed it at their Junior day) and some other schools. The bottom line is Syracuse needs to do a better job with recruiting and the overall big picture of it. Syracuse in February is sometimes not a good sell, and that's a risk, but such is life in Syracuse in February. The hoops program and 33000 fans is a commodity and it can show a recruit how exciting the football stadium and crowd can be. Kids are easily swayed by emotion. Now I've never known us to get a commitment as a result of a junior day but I've read numerous articles in the past from kids raving about it. [/QUOTE]
