Message: [QUOTE="UnknownOrange, post: 3970844, member: 4689"] No one ever really wants to bring this up - but academics matter. A lot of the board believes it's a positive "what a great education you can receive" but I have heard before it has hurt Syracuse in the past. I believe they've lightened up for acceptance but I believe it plays a role (who's to really say what %) on why some kids stay away or aren't look at harder (poor HS grades) Add that with weather, facilities (although improving), location (not ideal + not a HS hotbed) Other people have responded about 1-10 season (certainly doesn't help) and a HC who hasn't lit the town on fire record wise during his tenor. It's a recipe for mediocre recruiting. It's why system matters so much and finding a few diamonds in the rough [/QUOTE]
