Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 4146230, member: 430"] Coach Mac coached 30+ years ago at a time when the number of prospects in NYS warranted heavily focusing on the state. Those days are long gone. What Barrel posted above is accurate. Now that being said the program should be able to pull 3-5 kids from the state annually, there’s enough talent around to do that. But the days of Syracuse recruiting classes with 10+ NYS prospects are long in the past and have been for a while. Marrone put a huge emphasis on the state and he was never at a position to fill half a class with NYS prospects. For example, I grew up in Utica/Rome area and that area was putting out 1-2 G5/P5 level recruits a year 80’s up until the early 2000’s. Those days are over there and I’m sure that’s not the only area in the state that has seen that happen. [/QUOTE]
