Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 1015530, member: 214"] Since the vaunted recruiting class of 2003 (Nichols, Roberts, Watkins, McCroskey), Syracuse has had 37 recruited scholarship players. Of those, only 5 have had legitimate NBA careers (Donte Greene, 253 games; Johnny Flynn, 163 games; Wes Johnson, 266 games; Dion Waiters, 125 games; MCW, 63 games). All of them left after no more than 2 years in the system. Ennis, presumably, will be #6. Anyone who stayed longer than that played no more than 18 games in the NBA. This is not unique to Syracuse, by the way. Most D1 colleges sell the dream of "preparing kids for the NBA," but the fact of the matter is they do a shitty job at that. The reality is that they are just collecting free labor for their money making machines. [/QUOTE]
