Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 2614627, member: 626"] Oh, ok- that clears it up a bit, but I still don’t buy it. Even if we see some erosion in recruiting for lesser P5 programs the fact still remains that the G5 is losing clout, and is on track to lose even more as time goes on. The b-ball anology would be a kid choosing Gonzaga over Duke. He might get to a Final 4 w/ Gonzaga, but the exposure of playing on a P5 team like Duke can’t be beat. And in ftball it’s even more pronounced. A UCF, USF, or Temple, will never match up to the likes of even a P5 bottom feeder like Rutgers. Bottom line, a kid might choose a higher level G5 but the real question is, do you put SU at that bottom feeder level, or higher? I say we’re a better choice than a G5- but the key is winning. If Dino starts winning your premise is moot. That, imho, is what will likely happen moving forward. [/QUOTE]
