Message: [QUOTE="CousCuse, post: 4059857, member: 4127"] Well, I feel that the top 20% of the athletes that play football in Texas have had advanced coaching and training, while in New York it's less than 1%.(Just ballpark guesses). So, I believe there is a pool of very high potential athletes that are overlooked in New York. The problem for Syracuse is, they don't get any of the top athletes from other states, a couple of real good guys and then some development players that everyone else has passed on. It takes a different approach to talent evaluation, but it seems to me that the upside is way higher. Maybe Syracuse could develop a relationship with a D3 school like Utica College, which was founded by SU, to be a program that develops New York players and if they really blow up, they could transfer to Syracuse. It seems possible with the new portal rule. [/QUOTE]
