Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4863742, member: 668"] I wonder. Did Duke suddenly get a chit ton of high level recruits/players or was it excellent coaching, developing, coaching up, etc. the overall talent that he had? Texas A&M obviously thought the later and hired him in a heartbeat. Additionally, any uptick in recruiting for SU is likely to be relatively small/marginal with anyone they have the ability/means to hire as their HC. Syracuse University hasn't really (even during our latest hey day of two plus decades ago) ever be able to get, let alone sustain, higher type level national recruiting classes, etc. Therefore, every day of the week and twice on Sunday's, give me a coach that has all of those aforementioned attributes, etc. vs. not as much relative to his recruiting prowess. IMO, a coach like this can get us to that 7-4 type regular season on a more readily basis, especially in a average at best conference that is the ACC. [/QUOTE]
