Message: [QUOTE="OttosBestFriend, post: 928591, member: 852"] Yes, THIS class... but what about the other FOUR classes that will be on campus with them next season? How many kids from THOSE classes had multiple offers from big time programs? Less than 60%, I'd bet. After 4-5 consecutive years of grabbing better RAW talent (SEE: MORE STARS), we'll see a bump in Syracuse's overall record. The reason why SU was so successful from the mid 1980's through 2001 was recruiting - The Orange consistently had top-25 classes with multiple guys who were ranked very very highly coming out of HS. Back then, we would beat teams like Penn St., Notre Dame, Nebraska, BC and Michigan for players - Not Toledo, Buffalo and Akron. And listen, I know offers don't always tell the whole story... But for every rags-to-riches guy like Jay Bromley, there are five other guys who're too slow, too small and completely over-matched in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
