LOL Syracuse.com strikes again

Takes a shot at the current recruiting class http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2013/09/syracuses_class_of_2014_curren.html

The angle should be "this is SU's best recruiting class in forever," and not "this class needs to get better."

Of course it should, thats what most hometown papers do, but Cohen and his band or Merry mauruders.

Who wrote it?

Any chance you could summarize so I don't have to give them a clicky?

Exactly. They love to stoke this "we suck" fire that the community had been in during Gregger's tenure.

 

[Alsacs]

Reading that article made me think of that. I swear negativity is what sells and it is very depressing that media get more attention expounding the negative rather than just report.

 

[SmilinBob]

So is this the paper or the goofy message board?

Carlson wrote, basically saying the class will be slightly better then the classes we had under Marrone (mostly ranked in the 60's) but that we have a long way to go to be anywhere close to the rest of the ACC.

"The three major recruiting sites currently rank the Orange's projected Class of 2014 anywhere from No. 54 to No. 66. Syracuse still seems likely to enjoy a small bump in talent from the Doug Marrone era, when its rankings regularly finished in the 60s.
All three major recruiting sites, Rivals, Scout and 247Sports, currently project Syracuse to bring in its best recruiting class since 2008, Greg Robinson's final year leading the program.
Still Syracuse's current class ranks ahead of only Wake Forest in the ACC, according to two of the sites. At their request, this network is being blocked from this site. has the Orange ahead of Wake Forest and Duke.

Syracuse fares better when schools are scored by average number of stars per player, with the assumption that the rest of the class will be an equal caliber. If that happens, SU will move ahead of Pittsburgh and Boston College, according to two services.
There's plenty of work that needs to be done if that's going to happen.
The Orange are one of just four ACC teams with fewer than 15 verbal commitments for 2014 as they embark on a three-game stretch in the Carrier Dome and begin hosting players for game-day visits.
Note: The website 247Sports ranks individual recruiters by the number of highly-touted prospects they've landed. Linebackers coach Clark Lea ranks No. 30 in the ACC, the highest of any SU coach."

Carlson just got kudos this morning for another article. Didn't someone say they wanted to see more of his stuff?

There is very little actual reporting in any of the Syracuse.com articles. they are mostly the opinions/observations/accusations of the writers. It is the stuff that belongs on talk radio.

Was it Cali who said that?

 

[JeremyCuse]

My favorite part of the article is when he acknowledges the 3 latest commits but then says nothing about them or there offers, especially Custis.

 

[All4SU]

I swear every time I read one of their articles I get the impression that their experience with college football goes back not even as far as the average Yukon fan.

Only if Cali and 007 are the same person.

I really enjoy (or at least used to) reading recruiting articles, but I refuse to click on the link and give them my business.

 

[will6786]

ugh some of the ppl who respond there i read the article with arthur jones and his medical problem and a guy seemed like o who cares and said he hates the team..

 

[OrangeXtreme]

What we lack in ratings, we make up for in hardnosedness.

We are behind our conference rivals. That being said, the ACC is absolutely dominating in recruiting this year. I still like the way this class is shaping up and we're definitely in better shape at this point in the season than we were in previous years. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/scorecard/_/class/2014/id/conferences

 

[Cuseman78]

Its freakin' September. September. Did this article need to be written at this moment in time with half a year to go before signing day? I haven't been as harsh on the SU football coverage as most here. In fact, I think the quantity of content is much improved. Unfortunately, there is no more Rahme, and thus quality isn't nearly as good. But they've produced some good stuff. And some pretty bad stuff. This goes in the bad stuff category. Ridiculous article on 9/14/13.

He basically stole this from an article on ACCsports.com yesterday. Can't even come up with their own sports stories.

Wow...an article about recruit rankings. That's insightful... and something we can't find on our own. Great job guys!

Shaken not stirred...

FACT: No one here has ever seen Cali and me in the same room at the same time.

As for Carlson's article breaking down Allen's INTs and batted balls, I thought he did a good job with the analysis of the intricacies that are involved in any given play. I think that if you have played or coached, you have a much better appreciation of that type of analysis. I would like to see more of that.

As for the recruiting article, my personal bias is that, although this class is shaping up to be one of the best in a long time, there is no doubt in my mind that the program is still lagging behind in the race for talent. This will only get worse if we don't win now, IMO.

People don't like to read or hear that.

And they basically stole it from all the tolls who can only go as deep as some number rating they read on internet.
