You say that Syracuse would be better off if Quade and Jordan had come to Syracuse instead of where they went.  I disagree because not every top 100 recruit reaches their hyped rating.  I think that Syracuse dodged two bullets at least in their freshman year. Plus, these players had baggage when we recruited them: Tucker had questionable character (based on alluded to insider comments from his initial visits) and Quade Green from the way that he continued to overly mislead our coaching staff with his intent to play for Syracuse.

It is so easy to believe the hype regarding recruiting high school players.  Usually, the newspaper or "informed insiders" post glowing reports on almost every recruit that the Cuse pursue.  I appreciate that information but not every recruit matches their high school performance.

I am really glad that Jordan Tucker is at Duke (at least for his freshman year) and that Quade Green is at Kentucky. They would not be doing any better at Syracuse at least this point of their career.  The one 2017 recruit that I believe we missed out on is Alex Connell.  Notice that he is getting playing time at Duke and Jordan Tucker is not.
