Program seems to be rebounding off of recent lows, but still has a long ways to go to get back to what we had become accustomed to for most of the Boeheim/Big East era. Problem is that we will probably never be able to get to the point of being an ACC kahuna the way we were a BE Kahuna year in and year out. In the end, to be great, it is about talent, and we have not been able to make our 5 star recruits stick. We only are able to even attract a 5 star once every few years to begin with. Add in that Boeheim's greatness lies in his year in and year out consistency, not in his ability to at least some of the time take a mediocre to good roster and make it great in a transformative way.

Many good comments in this thread about how to improve the program, but I saw nothing that shows a path to getting to where we were as opposed to making incremental improvements.

IMHO, we are what we are under Jimmy, a good program capable of over achieving in a given year, but thats about it.

If we are ever to attain consistent greatness again, it will take an extremely dynamic young coach who is a GREAT recruiter. And, of course, the problem with succeeding Jimmy is there is a lot of downside risk compared to the odds of striking paydirt with the next guy.
