"Being involved with" /= commitments.  I'll relax some when someone commits.  Syracuse is the [B]only[/B] ACC team without at least one 2017 commit and they will have more openings than probably any other team except Duke.  It's the numbers that worry me.  If only one of Lydon/Battle leave early, that's still six openings.  Only 9 of the 50-100 guys aren't committed and they aren't on SU's radar.  Posters like to joke about Crean's recruiting everyone, but SU has ~6 openings and only 14 offers out there.  Of those 14, five committed elsewhere and two are unlikely (Richards and Diallo).  That leaves7 offers and 6 openings (I don't think there's an official offer for Brissett[?]).  Syracuse doesn't do well when they go head-to-head with Duke/UK/KU, for a recruit.  So, I don't know how they're going to hit 88% of their remaining offers.

People are understandably nervous because this is uncharted territory for SU. Typically SU gets a couple of top-100 guys and 1-2 top-40 guys.  This year is almost all top-40 guys with lots of openings.  UK only has 13 offers out there, but, regardless of his tactics, Cal delivers his class.

Granted, the uneasiness can can change in a heartbeat even if SU "only" gets a class of Green, Bamba, and Diallo.
