Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 1066430, member: 676"] I completely agree. It just baffles me when people say "we shouldn't play UConn because we don't recruit the Hartford area" as if that's the only factor that plays into recruiting. Kids want to play in big games on big stages, and if Syracuse/UConn played every year at MSG, that would unquestionably be one of the most hyped non-conference matchups of the entire college basketball season, lead game on Sportscenter, etc. I could totally see a high-level recruit watching or attending that game at the Garden with a super-intense 50/50 crowd and saying, "holy !@#$, I want to be a part of this."
