Not that it matters, but there was a large club LAX tourney here in Charlotte last weekend son over to watch a couple of the games.  When chatting with some of the coaches/players who commented on my SU garb I noticed some disturbing thoughts regarding Syracuse and Desko.  Granted most of these guys were northern transplants from schools NOT named Syracuse and a few NC regional guys.  Many of coaches were former players at the likes of Hofstra, RIT, RPI, Cortland, Nazareth, Albany, and southern reps from Limestone and Mars Hill (a mix of DI, DII and DIII).
 
I heard from a few coaches/parents "Why would I want to send my kid to Syracuse.  Legacy players and coaches kids get priority in playing."  It was an perception that I had not even conceived before.  Is it possible that this is a larger/common perception or is more likely just some disgruntled folks who weren't recruited or couldn't play for the Orange?  I imagine it's the latter, but disturbing nonetheless.  The article above triggered my post with the Desko nephew recruitment.
