I am as critical as anyone when the staff lose out on a kid. I also know its not easy recruiting kids to snowy Syracuse. I can tell you that Monroe is not the only good recruiter. Reno, Lustig  and Reynolds are good. Ward is solid. Lewis was a big loss.  Beatty is not going to change the dynamics of our recruiting. He will also be expensive. He might be able to convince a few more DMV kids to come but we can get them anyways if we consistently win.  When we won 9 games 3 years in a row ( 95-97) we were able to get some big time commits from parade All Americans like Morant, Mungro and Spotwood.

My stance is that you always try to get more of the best.  Get as many of the best coaches, recruiters and players you can get. I agree, thats how you have sustained success. Don't forget you need money to get and keep great recruiters.  Good coaching and a established philosophy can win you a lot of games vs teams with more talent though. Lets not act like that can't happen either.
