I get that Syracuse doesn't engage in negative recruiting, but here's the brass tacks closing argument Cuse surrogates should use on Tucker: Do you want to play in the NCAA tournament and advance far in said tournament? Percentage-wise, Boeheim and Syracuse is by far the best coach and program (among your final schools) to get you where you want to go. Josh Pastner has been a chronic underachiever. Don't let a one-year aberration mask that. He's been to only 4 NCAA tournaments in 8 seasons as a head coach (50 percent success rate) and he's only 2-4 in that tourney. He's proven virtually nothing at Georgia Tech so far (last year's 11th place finish notwithstanding). Boeheim's been doing this thing for 41 YEARS. He's made it to 32 NCAA tournaments in 41 seasons on the bench. He's 57-31 in the tourney, leading the program to 2 Final Fours in the last 5 seasons alone (6 Final Fours overall). That's an actual, real track record winning NCAA tournament games. You're infinitely better off taking your chances with SU and JB if you want to play in the NCAA tourney and have a chance to shine in front of NBA scouts on the biggest stage. Again, I can't stress this enough: Boeheim has won 57 NCAA tourney games. Pastner? 2. Goodnight.
