Message: [QUOTE="outoftownie, post: 645121, member: 551"] Exactly as Jeremycuse has stated, top flight guys didn't pan out. Not to mention Conor Penquigney (top 6 recruit last year) ended up at Towson after committing to SU and next years faceoff recruit Connor Russell from penfield could not get medically cleared due to multiple concussions. It is not from a lack of effort, it just hasn't happened with the guys they brought in. In addition, as stated many times the wing play is massive. Arguably our best faceoff guy in the last 20 years was Chris Cercy. He was mediocre as a freshman, decent as a sophomore (55-60% range) and awesome his last two years (70% range). That big jump coincided with the arrival of Sam Bassett, a GB machine. Pretty sure Bassett has some GB records at SU, a lot of that has to do with his stellar play on the wing. [/QUOTE]
