Recruiting is easy when you win.  Alabama sucked and they were not recruiting well.  Once the winning came, the recruits went up.  Same with all schools, win and you will recruit.  Some schools get the inflated rankings (see Texas during their downturn) but the players were not really as elite as the inflated rankings, though, they were still better than average.

Su has a built in handicap, no, not the weather.  Most people realize that playing in a Dome means you have a fast track and perfect weather during games.  The reality is that SU expects kids to attend classes.  See UNC, and SEC school, and several others.  I appreciate this aspect, and I think HCDB does, too.  We will never get the kids that want to hang at the beach, get girls coast until they get in the NFL draft and never attend class, but do we want them?

I get that NY does not have a lot of developed talent, but so what, Coach Mac and PP seemed to get the kids to play.  HCDB is now doing the same.  As for present recruiting, remember, SU has a 1 winning season "streak" that most kids are aware of.  They don't know SU history.  HCDB is getting the word out.  It took Dabo Swinney five years to get to championship level and he started with a winning team.  Even Nick Saban had some work to do before he won his first championship (LSU).
