Great list Tom.  It appears NY puts out more players than is thought but in terms of our recruiting we'd only really survive if we got the top kids consistently.  McGee, Jazhion Harris, Kaleb Artis etc.  As we know these kids are never coming here.  McGee wanted nothing to do with us.  CBA Scott kid another example.  We'd need some amazing recruiters to pull it off, particularly with the City kids.

We've had success at schools like Erasmus Hall and we did offer Bethea but another kid who's not going to consider us unless we have a personal contact or a raised football profile.  Syracuse might as well be a million miles away from the City kids and they all want higher profile programs.  The NYC prospects is just such a weird dynamic.  Marrone probably did the best down there that I can ever remember even with Mac but the misses were more than the hits even for him.

Some of these NY kids are bit misleading to.  Nadame Tucker (Houston) made his mark at JUCO in Kansas.  Anthony Smith (Arizona) is from NY but played HS football in Connecticut - Bloomfield I think.  Home of Freeney.
