My father has been a head coach for 35 years and has had one kid get a D1 scholarship. He has had 9-10 kids capable of playing D1. In my 6 years (coaching at a larger school) I have had two, one is currently on the SU roster.

So basically my experience is limited. With that being said, I can say that even under Coach P upstate was not highly recruited. Most of the coaches liked P and D because they were so inviting to NYS HS coaches. As a young assistant I went with my father and another coach up to SU during spring practice one year. Coach P and D allowed us to sit in on position meetings before practice go on the field during practice and answered all the questions we had.

As far upstate recruits I don't know of that many kids who were recruited by SU and went elsewhere. Another thing to consider is how coaches deal with recruiting. I tell every single one of my players who wants to play at any level to figure out what they want to study. This automatically narrows down their college list. I do this because it is a huge longshot for 99.9% of kids to go pro. Plus it saves the recruiters' time and my own time by not sending out film to colleges that don't offer the kid's desired academic program.
