This doesn't make sense two3. All the positives you mention about Syracuse were achieved with the recruiting strategy you are saying isn't good enough for a program of this stature. That is a circular argument. Not every recruit is going to be a 5 star guy. Only Kentucky has ever done that, honestly and Duke has been close at times. Everybody else has to fill in a team with the best available players who also fit into their system, their values, their team make-up, etc. Wes Johnson was a cast off from an also ran in the state of Iowa, Hak Warrick was an emergency fill in when we struck out on a better recruit, Jonny Flynn was thought to be recruited only to get Paul Harris, etc.

The program is recruiting at a very high level right now and the players you are disparaging (Buss and Chino) are going to be key factors in the team's success going forward. It is especially strange to see you unhappy with Buss. The kid has saved a little bit of bacon for the program this year. He's not JJ Reddick, ok we get that, but he's been an important part of this team getting its feet under them and getting back to winning after a very rough start with a freshman PG.
