I’d offer this. When we recruited in the past, kids had to decide am I a Big East-type player (physical, mostly city) or more of a athletic and free flowing player, who might trend toward the old ACC (southern bases). Both were excellent options. If the player chose to take the physical challenge, the looked (primarily) at BE schools. And SU was at or near  the top of the list for many reasons, including geography, Boeheim, Dome, great tradition, freedom to play individually as part of a team dynamic.

Now, if a player wants to play geographically (primarily) in the Northeast, they choose the New Big East.

If they choose the ACC for the depth of challenge, we have to fend with a (in my estimation) caliber of recruiting rivals in Duke, UNC, some Virginia, FSU, etc.

That is different than in the past, when we had to beat out Nova, St John’s, Pitt, etc.

Again, this is NOT the only factor. It is one of many. But I think it is just as big as some of the others.
