Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 5747752, member: 43"] Raio nearly came to Syracuse, that was one of a couple of losses that stung. Not speaking for him specifically but I would expect that eventually a few of the higher end guys will either decomitt or hit the portal. There's only so much PT to go around and even if you run three midlines not everyone wants to go from attack to running out of the box a handful of times a game. You look at a guy like Drago at Duke who we also pursued heavily. 5 star mid who can also play attack. He's seen time in 8 games but as essentially a 3rd line middie and has 4 pts and didn't play the last two games vs Cuse and UVA. Perhaps he loves Duke and knows he can move into a starting spot next year but if your him and you see what Duke brings back offensively (essentially everyone but Menke and Gaffney) and their recruiting class you may consider hitting the portal even it's just to see what is out there. Portal could bring a few surprises. As for JUCO guys, Powellfan kinda nailed it, they have really fallen off the map the last decade + at least from an upper level D1 standpoint. I can't really recall the last big impact guy that a power program brought in from the JUCO ranks who had major success. Now certainly I am not dismissing the 2 guys you mentioned but it's such a huge jump from OCC to Syracuse you really have to be an elite level player. Even GBE who is very talented hasn't gotten a sniff at attack. I certainly hope that SU is at least doing their homework on Staats/Jammer, though I can't even speak confidently on that. FOGO remains a concern in the future but we need to get Huang on campus and see what he looks like. I think right now we have a real nice 1-2 combo that has another year together thankfully.
