but they cannot just not recruit big time kids because of past circumstances, you cant let a few bad apples scare you off NBA-caliber kids, because not all are gonna be busts.
they've had some bad luck with the highly rated recruits, but its just that, bad luck.
but that cannot stop them from trying to get big time athletes to come play at UT

Syracuse doesn't have a single top 50 kid on their roster...

They got a steal in Johnson. He may be the best player in college, just doesn't have a blow you away stat line.

I like Johnson a lot, but Rautins is the guy that makes them tick...if their young point guards can limit their turnovers they should be in the elite 8 no question, and possibly in the title game pending match-ups
