The bottomline is Syracuse needs to improve their facilities for football not to get ahead but just to keep their head above water.. That is the difference. people can dispute this all they want but if facilities weren't a huge driving factor in recruiting then why is there such an arms race in that area. It makes a huge difference, huge. Like I said, get out, look around, I was just down at State College a few weeks ago, its a different world. Hell we just upgraded locker rooms for Ithaca College and I am hear to tell you they are nicer than anything our football team has for practice or games.. That is the truth but if people want to bury their head in the sand and ignore it then so be it. This is a bigger issue than the attendance. If you are a recruit, you want to see where you will live, go to school, practice/ train everyday and where you will play games.  Syracuse doesn't show well right now in a few of these areas...  Biggest weakness is practice/ training facilities

As far as UCONN, well they have to have great facilities because they had no history or anything to draw upon and Edsall isn't a very recruiter but somehow he seemed to be sending a few kids to the NFL every year.

I don't get is that people talk about increases athletic ability on our team which would manifest itself in the skill guys be recruited over, yet we still have all GROB's guys there in year 3 crazy.
