We had a nice streak going not too long ago. It would be nice to get that going again.
Thing is we did that fairly often not too long ago
Hey Bulldog, I think you accidentally posted this on the wrong board!
But Hurley tells every kid he’ll make them a 1st rounder even though he’s literally never done it lol
It's true. It is difficult to build and maintain a program on an uneven playing field. That is why getting a Benny and getting a Dior start to build things back, and grabs the attention of other highly ranked recruits. I know you know this, but we have been a very good program competing against cheaters. Some may point their fingers to us and say that we are the ones that have been caught cheating. But, if people would do their homework, they would see minor infractions compared to the systematic paying of players over years. Or, the academic fraud at North Carolina. We were hammered while they have gotten nothing. Still, here we are. And now, with guys like Benny and Dior and whoever chooses to join them, we are going to be even better.
I’ll have to disagree with this. Boeheim was the coach then and he’s the coach now. They care about his track record of putting kids in the draft, and we had a really good years-long streak of first rounders going a few years ago. He has a proven track record of getting kids to the NBA. And kids do care about fan base and tradition because they want to be in the spotlight, and Syracuse is a premier program (though not a blue blood) where they can be in the spotlight and get lots of media attention. But I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
We have 1 last four years no?
We need this KID!
Appreciate you! If you had to rank 3 unsigned future recruits you believe are most into Cuse at this moment?
Roddy. Riley. Chance but that’s not really new news. The future is Dior and the kid they want from Canada (Fisher). But I expect Roddy to be the next commit
How does rhe staff feel about Dior at the moment?
Elijah Fisher is an amazing player on both ends of the floor. He would be a huge get. Bulldog, is it too early to get a feel for him? Obviously we are and will continue to recruit him hard, but sometimes recruits just want things that we can’t provide.
Success, or lack of, is also an issue with perception.
True on paper, but as you said above every school mentioned has a legacy of systematic cheating in recruiting. UNC's 18-year eligibility scam avoided disaster because of a gutless NCAA. But there's hope that Zona and KU are going to get time in the barrel. If they do, the "perception" out there may dissipate.
I'm a long time SU and JB fan, but glass houses. He is a twice guilty cheater, and I know for a fact that with the first probation, a lot of worse stuff stayed out of sight.
If they could have proven a lot worse stuff, they would have. Period. We all hear things. you know for a fact. did you witness this cheating?
