Message: [QUOTE="OCESIP, post: 5383188, member: 8702"] Trying to be realistic and impartial in this environment, most programs (Syracuse included) can't just put $$ on the table for any kid and expect there won't be a lot of competition out there doing the same thing. It's an open market and the players are calling the shots. Given that, a program needs other intangibles to make them stand apart to close the deal. An honest question at this point -- What are the other positives it can put on the table?? Recent winning tradition, development of players to the next level, outstanding facilities and rabid fan base, top level conference with top level competition, a super academic opportunity (;);)), hall of fame coaching, etc, etc. It's really difficult to see SU rate any higher than a C+ compared to comparable programs when it comes to the intangibles.
