According to a well placed source Wildhack and Babers had a conversation a couple of years back where Wildhack noted that when SU was at it's peak the roster was comprised mostly of top NY kids, a good number of NJ/NEPA/NE guys, and a significant number of Florida players.
Pretty evident that Babers has taken that to heart based on where he has his best recruiter working.

There is no reason based on the job this staff did this year, and the marriage of the dome with their approach to the game, that SU can't be back to were it was from '87-'01. 8,9, 10 wins the expectation, consistently ranked, going toe to toe with anybody, playing in NY6 games, maybe more?
The ACC is the perfect conference for SU to compete in. They don't have to face giant land grant programs week in and week out like the SEC or B10.
In the old big east SU had to get through Miami, VT, and either a very good WVU, Pitt, or BC to win the conference. Same situation now.
Exciting times ahead.
