Message: [QUOTE="griddy, post: 2354240, member: 6511"] This coaching staff has done a remarkable job across the board. That includes conditioning. Syracuse has been in better shape than any of their opponents. That’s why Coach Babers had the team going crazy before the start of the fourth quarter, while Miami players were walking slowly to the sideline. He wanted to send a message. In addition to what is shaping up as an excellent recruiting class, there are many young players who have either redshirted or played little who have steadily progressed. My son has added 10 pounds of muscle since July and probably will add at least that much before next season, while improving in all the other areas. He’s played enough to see what the competition is like, which will benefit him enormously when his time comes. These young guys respect the hell out of the veterans, who are showing them what it takes. But they also have a quiet confidence and even a little impatience because they know how much talent they have. Fans simply can’t appreciate how good these guys will be because they haven’t seen them and aren’t factoring in the huge strides players make in their first year of training in a great program. This is the class that coach Babers had a full year to get and it will show that among the many things that makes this coaching staff so good, they are top-notch recruiters and graders of talent. They rarely miss on a guy. These young players are far ahead of where many veterans were at the same stage. With a full year of conditioning under what may be the best strength program in the country, fans are going to be amazed how much better some of these young players become. My son had more than 30 offers. I’m so grateful he picked Syracuse. [/QUOTE]
