There are two issues:  Relevance and Recruiting

Syracuse has never been a good cultural fit in the south and never will be.
The Orange simply don't belong on the ACC...even if the days of geographically appropriate conference are supposedly over.

Winning makes you relevant.
But that hasn't been the case since the first season in the ACC.
So, yes, Syracuse is not relevant in the ACC and has lost much of the major relevance it had in the Northeast.

Recruiting:  Kids general go to the schools where they think they have the best chance to improve their game, fit in with the program and make some money.

Can't blame the new coach for the team he has.
OK, maybe he botched the transfer portal center play.
But he lost two key players, another is injured and a third hasn't shown much of what was expected.

But play exciting basketball and you'll get recruits.
That, it seems, Red Autry is trying to do.

Meanwhile we're left with the often criticized Judah Mintz.
The bottom line is without him the Orange wouldn't win 10 d-amn games.
