Uh huh.  Just as JB never wanted to leave the friendly confines of Manley to play hoops in the Dome.  The Dome, along with the advent of ESPN, launched SU's hoops program from regional player to national.  Now, I'm a huge JB fan...as a coach.  He's not a visionary.  Being reluctant to join the ACC, if indeed accurate, would be another example of his lack of prowess from a visionary standpoint.  If SU was not incredibly fortunate to land in the ACC, the SU athletic department would be on the same path as UConn's.

SU's current status as a middle of the pack ACC hoops team is 100% on JB and his recent big time misses on the recruiting trail...the one's we didn't get and the one's we did who aren't/weren't P5 worthy.  The sanctions, lost schollies arguably have played a role with our middle of the pack ACC standing, along with the unforeseen early departures, but nowhere as significant as the aforementioned misses.

ND's hoops success in the ACC since its inclusion has been just fine.  No reason we shouldn't have expected similar results to theirs.
