thats odd, that was said about schiano back in the day, and he shut us out of nj recruiting. make no mistake if ru stays on this trajectory it will make some impact on us. some of you choose remain in denial. denial of another programs progress, of the where we were as a program to where we are now. unfortunately---we are not scaring anyone either.
Such a ridiculous “point”.
For one, Syracuse football was absolutely horrific under GRob.
Two, even at its late 80s/90s peak, Syracuse football was never the national brand that Syracuse basketball is.
3, you can be good in hoops with just a few good players and a few decent ones. It’s not like filling a football roster.
4, the northeast is much more fertile recruiting grounds for basketball than football. A few roster spots to fill and a ton of options, every single year.
5. Lots of programs in the northeast have had stretches of being really good over the years. UConn, Nova, Pitt, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Temple, St. Joes,...some of them have come and gone...and in some cases come again. We’ve never stopped being Syracuse. We’re always in the mix.
Nothing you said makes any sense whatsoever to me. I don’t know why you’re always fear mongering about Rutgers. But hey, you did make a good call on Rutgers finally having a solid coach.
