Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 1130988, member: 2651"] I long for the day that Notre Dame, PSU, and MSU are "constant threats" to our recruiting territory. We are not on equal recruiting ground with those schools and, at this point, are rarely even competitive going after the same kids. As Cabinda and Kelly have shown us recently, kids are willing to back out of a verbal to Syracuse when PSU comes calling. Even Franklin, who held steady with SU when PSU came calling late, wanted to go to PSU until PSU strung him along and didn't offer a schollie (the whole scholarship restriction thing). When is the last time a kid ditched PSU (or MSU or Notre Dame) when Syracuse came calling? We compete with Pitt, Rutgers, and BC - as peers - in our traditional recruiting areas. When (if?) we ever get to truly competing with Notre Dame, PSU, or MSU for recruits, Syracuse will truly be in a new golden age for the program. [/QUOTE]
