For someone who claims they don't care, you are doing a pretty repetitive job of trying to twist Barnas' situation into being a previous pattern of behavior by Marrone and his Staff.
Was Barnas a Marrone recruit? NO. He was recruited by GRob and GRob's staff.
Did Barnas commit to Marrone or Marrone's staff? NO. He committed (supposedly) to a staff member of GRob's after GRob was fired. Matter of fact - was it ever documented who in fact he committed to? I've seen the reports of him committing, but who did he commit to?
If you want to make the claim that Syracuse, as a program, has a history over the past 4 years of abandoning recruits and pulling offers, and Garret Barnas is your shining example of that pattern - be my guest. At least in that case, you'd have an incredibly weak argument, but it would be based on some factual evidence.
In this case, you have no argument, because the original statement was that Marrone and his Staff don't have a history of abandoning their players. And they don't. [/quote]Actually Hilliard wasn't his player.When a kid doesn't get on campus for whatever reason regardless of his later intent the responsibility is zero on the part of the coaches unless they feel that contact can be of help to them or the kid. If Hilliard had a problem,I'm sure he had access to a phone or the internet an e-mail. If he communicated a problem and that was ignored then and only then does the responsibility fall back on to Doug and his assistants.I prsume that didn't happen,so trying to nail Doug is an indirect attempt to get to him using this BS incident.
