Moore was and is correct.  Kids these days have their heads in the clouds and think the world revolves around them.  If the kids are such panzies that they cannot play in Syracuse, then they can write off their NFL dreams now.  There are far worse weather conditions in NFL cities (Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, etc.) than in Syracuse in a Dome.  Even Dallas in December can be cold!
 
If  parents can be bought off with the dream of riding the pine in hopes of a chance to play at a big time program, then so be it.  If parents want a great education and a great opportunity to shine, then Syracuse will accommodate. 
 
Another selling point is that kids drafted to the NFL out of Syracuse usually have excellent NFL careers.  The SEC cannot state the same, many don't last three years because they don't know how to work, they aren't intelligent and/or can't handle playing games in places that aren't 80 degrees in December.
 
If kids cannot handle what Moore has told them then they are probably not good candidates to succeed here or elsewhere.  If a kid truly prefers another school for academic reasons, family legacy or some other legitimate reason, I wish them the best.  However, I really don't miss the kids who play games and make glamor decisions rather than fundamentally sound decisions.  If they have a real expectation of playing time at ND, great.  If they are way down the line in their position, then they need a reality check.  If they cannot handle it, they don't belong here.
 
Hard nosed kids make hard nosed decisions.  They are hard nosed workers, too.
