That should be the goal. Especially if we can get at least 8 wins next year.
Add four more kids and it's top 50. This is where numbers come into playLet’s hope so. This class looks pretty good, but it’s still rated second to last in the ACC.

Yep look at the Crystal Ball site rankings. Duke is 8th in the ACC and we are 13th. Why? They have 21 commits: 1 four star and the rest are 3 star. We have 17 commits(Jordan is excluded remember): 1 four star and the rest 3 star. North Carolina has an extra 4 star kid over us and they are 6th. This class is solid and by Feb we will have 3-4 more kids added.
I want the ideal guys for our O and D systems. If that means high ranked guys, great. If not, I trust Dino will find the guys to make this machine him.
At this point, every time I read "but but but ratings!!!" I think, "See you on the field."Add four more kids and it's top 50. This is where numbers come into play
Yes, Eric Dungey's development raised the impact of his class and everyone around him.We were great basically because 4 years ago we got a player that made us great. Yeah getting surrounded by three star players is helpful but what would our record be without Dunghy. We were in every single game he played . Without him Notre Dame crushed us i
Other than the 5th year seniors the kids on the field will be Dino's guys and depending on the results we can actually now see how GOOD his recruiting has been, that is not based on some goofball meathead's or stat nerds ranking system. I am confident Dino has been recruiting well but even more confident in the job he's done at developing the kids he recruits. Top 10,20, 40 recruiting classes doesn't mean a GD thing without the system in place to develop these guys.
This class could be his best yet, maybe not but nobody will really know for 3 years. I think next year could be top 40 class but I don't think Syracuse will ever have a top 25 class given current landscape, maybe with more facility upgrades but not now.
Anyone know what was our highest ranked class ever was? Have we ever brought in a class inside the Top 20?
Dunno about part 1, but given that we've only had 13 guys who were "better" than any of Dino's best so far, and they were spread over 1.5 decades, I'd imagine we've never been Top 20.
(IF there were recruiting rankings back in the late 80's & 90's, then yes - we had some killer classes back then, highly likely some would have been Top 20)
