This is an interesting comparison.   We went through a period in football under P where the results on the field had dropped off, but remained at a high enough level that many were still satisfied.  However, I think there was a point where the program became less attractive to top talent and that began a downward spiral.

I wonder if we are watching the same thing in the basketball program?   I was a believer that some of our personnel and recruiting problems were a direct result of sanctions. But now that the overhang of sanctions are behind us I am not really excited by how this recruiting class is shaping up.  Yes we have some good players, but I’m not seeing the star quality players that are going to  return Syracuse to the top of the heap in basketball.

Our style of play is not attractive and we are having trouble landing players.  You have to ask the question are we in a temporary trough or on a more lasting downward trajectory.  As we saw in football once it starts it’s not easy to correct.
