A lot of the kids that have left thus far, not all, were B list recruits.  They were thrust into action because of injuries.  These B listers then became starters and thus think they deserve playing time when the starters return, when in fact they need more time to develop.  Which is why only 54% of the players who enter the portal end up playing D1 football again. The balance of the players play FBS or stop all together.  
The argument I’ve read here and heard from other SU supporters is that we can’t or won’t recruit locally because it takes too much time to develop athletes from NY. 
Guess what, more often than not if you recruit locally, the kids want to be here.  They won’t be 4 year starters but the will be B list, loyal recruits, that will develop to contribute by year 3 or 4.  They will redshirt for a year and be good depth players.  And more often than not, they will stay.  Some will become studs, others will be what we have now.  End of my rant.
