The question on academics wasn't regarding general standing.  It was specific to creative writing.  Seth has said academics are a major consideration and he wants to get into a masters level creative writing program.  Syracuse has a great reputation in this specific area.  For a long time, Iowa and Syracuse were considered to have the two best creative writing programs in the country.  This goes back at least to the days when Raymond Carver was a professor here

I agree both Michigan and Virginia have been better than Syracuse in basketball in recent years.  I didn't claim otherwise.  I made a case for why Seth might choose Syracuse.

If you think Virginia had a better offense for a forward to operate in this season than Syracuse did this past season, I completely disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.  UVa's offense is, IMHO, a poor fit for a really talented offensive player to go to.  It is on the other hand a great place for a great defensive player to go.

I don't think Seth would get the freedom to handle the ball, run the offense, take the shots and play the minutes at Virginia that Elijah did at Syracuse.  Yes, the offense SU ran this year is sophisticated and gives really talented players a great opportunity to showcase themselves.  At least IMHO.

Virginia, like Michigan, also have strong pros to their credit.  No one is disputing that.  It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
