Well put Max, I think it's too soon to ring the alarm bells (not that it would do anything), but things are a bit concerning.  'Cuse still has four recruits right now which is a good sign, but schools like Maryland, Hopkins and Ohio State seem to be getting a Xanders' tweet every hour or so.

I think, looking at the Power 100 list, the thing that stands out is there aren't a lot of obvious kids for SU to go after. Kieb was the only CNY player on the list, and he's already gone to Yale. I think they will have to get creative. I'm sure there will be plenty of good players who want to go to SU, but the coaches might have to think outside the box.

I could absolutely be wrong about this, but did kids who decommit last year do so after Xanders released his big board of rankings? Part of me feels like if they didn't end up on that list, other coaches wouldn't have gone after them so hard to get them to flip.  I could be overthinking, and I would hope coaches didn't put as much stock in IL recruiting rankings as we do, but I can't help but think some kids saw their stock go up and decided to cash in.
