The coaches have talked endlessly about getting ahead in the recruiting cycle.  A junior day is one way to do so.  Go look at our competition in the region.  Many of them already have 5-6 commits from the junior class.  For all the talk about one-on-one time, we've seen how many of these recruits decide to go to school together after meeting each other on visits.  You can't overlook the camaraderie that the group visits create.  And most importantly, if you want to sell kids on the Syracuse experience, wouldn't it be nice for them to see the Dome when it's rocking?  The coaches don't have the excuse of game prep to arrange a junior day on a bball game weekend.  Can Rutgers or Penn State or BC offer the atmosphere of a Syracuse-Duke or Syracuse-UVA game?

Also, not a direct response to your post but to others in this thread: yes, junior days would largely be for local kids, meaning those in the 5-hour radius.  With the new push to grab a bigger chunk of Jersey, this is one way to do it.
