This. SU has never drawn any kind of real crowd for a spring game.  When I was up there the student body didn't even know about the game.

Another concern that I have with the Spring Game-Junior Day is the date.  April 21.  Same day as UConn, Maryland, Ohio State, and Penn State spring games. Good luck to the staff getting top kids from MD, Ohio, PA, and to some extent NYC metro to come up to Cuse that weekend. It seems the staff is taking an unnecessary risk and putting all their eggs in one basket on this one.

I know I have been quoted on these boards as saying a Junior Day shouldn't be highlighted with a basketball game. But when your team is ranked #1 most of the year, you should take advantage of it. Hell, rutgers just had an impromptu Junior Day which consisted of nothing more than lunch and the Cuse-RU game and their top kids showed up and the day ended with their first commitment.

HCDM should have been flanked by recruits at every weekend home hoops game this season. He should have personally invited their top guys (in small groups) to come take in a game with him. I believe this would have been very effective.

To recap, don't be surprised if the Spring Game-Junior Day backfires and is a big miss for the staff. Hope not, but legit fear.
