Message: [QUOTE="CuseN, post: 4598224, member: 4790"] We now have a coach who will be involved in the recruiting process, something JB hadn’t been involved in for years. Also, even committing to playing man and sprinkling in zone is going to help us big time. Recruits want to play man defense to prepare for the NBA. Think about it, even with the 2-3 zone, we still were in many top 3s and top 5s for excellent players over the past few years. We now will no longer have the 2-3 zone hanging over our heads and a older coach which hurt us in recruiting. Syracuse is still a top 10 destination due to fan support, history and facilities. I think Red has a tremendous opportunity to be very successful. I think we will see a huge jump even next year with a return to the NCAA tournament. With Red, Benny will probably return and I hope Mintz as well. This is going to be a phenomenal offseason with so many great possibilities. [/QUOTE]
