You say that as if it is gospel.   I know it keeps getting repeated, but we must have had a 100 debates this winter about whether JB would be back for next year or whether this season is his last and he'll quietly announce after the last game in order to avoid the victory lap.    If we're debating it here, I'm sure recruits aren't as clear on it as they need to be and I'm also sure coaches recruiting against us are more than happy to confuse them.

A lot of people are lamenting what Syracuse has to offer or doesn't have to offer.   SU has plenty to offer to bring in recruits.   It may not have enough to be a selector or win every battle, but there are only a handful of schools that have better amenities, we can and should still recruit well.

Biggest problems in my view are:

-JB's waning interest in recruiting.
   -it seems as though going all in the family on the staff, has left us without a rain maker.   That probably needs to be Hop's first priority when he rounds out his staff.  We don't need a big man coach, or a little man coach we need a recruiter.
    -we havn't done a great job of recruiting for the a situation where a higher percentage of your players leave early and we are under restriction on the number of players we can have on our roster.    I don't know if this is a staff flaw, or simply an impediment of the sanctions that no one short of Cal wouldn't have really been able to deal with.
     -the succession plan dragging on forever.
