Wonder why Syracuse has no shot at those elite NYC guys.

Because its Syracuse, you can go to one of the Cali, Florida, $ec, Texas, Oregon schools and they offer women, weather, and sometimes money.

How long until college athletes challenge the NFL and NBA's college requirements again?

Marrone could have built something special, but you can't pass on a NFL opportunity.

Right. And because Syracuse and Buffalo are about as close and as cold as Penn State without the history.
New York City doesn't have any powerful programs within its borders, Hofstra shut down (Columbia, Wagner and Fordham are too small and Columbia sucks), and Rutgers is in New Jersey. And sadly the closest thing to a local D1 school with a lot of championship history is Army (yikes) and even that's an hour outside of the city. So yeah there's no strong impetus for kids to stay in state.
Maybe if there'd been a stable coach there for several years, winning and building something. 6 win seasons and regime changes every 3 years isn't enticing when you can go to O$U, smash broads and play on national tv.
maybe if jim brown was coaching Cuse and they emphasized that 1 chip they've got? but even then most recruits parents weren't even alive when syracuse won.

Nako: It's a shame because NYC HS FB is slowly on the rise.

What do you mean without the history? That's like saying Minnesota has none because they've been a relative afterthought for some time now. It's not a powerhouse, but they're one of a handful of schools with 700+ wins, 15 College HOFers and 42 consensus All-Americans. Should have three Heisman winners with Brown and McPherson who were robbed by Notre Dame, the former of which had a 2-8 season. The Maloney and Robinson eras were damaging to the university, but no history makes it seem like we're Boise or some other flash in the pan school.

Major emphasis on that nothing. Dudes dont care about history anymore lol
Whichever school has the coolest jerseys, pretty cool lockeroom, and hottest broads wins.
Syracuse has none...and its cold..and basketball dominates talk around town..so yeah, i dont blame dudes for not going to syracuse. If im a 2-3 star (which is what su gets usually) id rather go somewhere like UCF or something

And when football is on, it's on. If the basketball team stunk like they did during the NIT years, you wouldn't be able to give away tickets.

Sheesh, Urban closed the deal on Raekwon.
Think Dalvin is FSU bound too.

After how many people spoke up and criticized him about it? Because dude walked out of a stadium flipping off 100,000 people on national television and Urban's initial reaction was "no suspension."
Not too many people outside of Gainseville really knew too much about Cam's test cheating or even the laptop til he'd already decided to transfer. I'm not implying anything there with the "already decided to transfer." Urban haters will come to their own conclusions on that, but no way he expels Cam.
I mean, how many practices did "Time to Die" Rainey miss for stalking and threatening? And you think Cam would be gone over a stolen laptop he wasn't even charged over?

0% chance.

<10% chance.
And Tomlin was floated and withdrew his name, too...
At this point it almost doesn't matter who they hire. It's going to look like they settled on their 6th or 7th option.

People keep saying Todd Graham too, but isn't Texas's AD forbidden from contacting him?

But what is ASU gonna do if Texas tries to hire him? Texas can contact him, negotiate, and pay the buy-out without Patterson ever having to speak to Graham.

I just feel like there's the implied impropriety there. ASU would sue the **** out of them. Thinking of it from a corporate stand point, it'd be hard to believe there was no correlation between Patterson's hiring and Texas's interest and acquisition of his former school's coach who he had promised not to pursue.
It would seem like Texas hired Patterson with the intention of one day stealing away Graham.
