Message: [QUOTE="orangefog, post: 1736528, member: 293"] In the 80's Syracuse regularly got players from California, that is hardly regional. I know it was a different time, but the Syracuse brand was a big enough draw to go anywhere. JB is a hall of famer. We still play in front of more people than anyone and are in the best conference in country. It hasn't always been JB's philosophy to recruit regionally, it has likely evolved over time due to a number of shady and unsuccessful attempts. But, coming off a Final Four (two in four years) and approaching his final season, this is the time to pitch the class of 2017 on what a ride it will be, no matter where they are from. Especially if they have shown some interest, like Porter, Knox and Duval. I trust the staff, but I would love for the class of 2017 to be JB's best ever. [/QUOTE]
