He's done it for the last series of games (nice add JR and hope you continue it for bowl game and next season).
Interesting thing about this one though is that of those 22 players listed on the article as their starters only ONE had an offer from BC.
Thought we still overlapped with Syracuse in recruiting circles like we did back in the Big East during the TOB era but based on that article that has changed a lot.
You can then check out BC's list for their current 22 starters and see the offer list as well and it's quite different in terms of BC beating out Cuse for talent.
QB - Wade (Syracuse offer - Yes)
RB - Dillon (Yes) (From Mass)
FB/TE - Sweeney (No)
WR/TE - Garrison (Yes) (From Mass)
WR - Callinan (No)
WR - T. Smith (No)
OL - Monteiro (No) (From Mass)
OL - Schmal (No)
OL - Petrula (Yes)
OL - Phillips (No - and he is FROM SYRACUSE!)
OL - Lindstrom (No) (From Mass)
DE - Allen (Yes) (From CT)
DT - Merritt (No)
DT - Smith (No)
DE - Ray (Yes)
LB - Lamot (No)
LB - Schwab (No)
LB - Bletzer (No) (From Mass)
DB - Yiadom (No) (From Mass)
DB - Denis (No) (From Mass)
DB - Harris (No) (From CT)
DB - Torres (No) (From Mass)
Lot of players there chose BC over Syracuse as a lot of them that didn't get Syracuse offers were in BC's backyard for the most part with a few of them clearly having the chance to play on Sunday's in the future (maybe that working to create that partially built fence has paid off).
Also if you then add in the injured players that were previously starters it tilts more in BC's favor.
Strachan (Yes) (From Mass)
Brown (Yes)
Moore (No)
Baker (Yes) (From Mass)
Richardson (No)
Landry (Yes (not listed on Rivals page due to space constraints but is on 247)
K. White (Yes)
J. Smith (No)
So to summarize, any reason BC shouldn't beat Cuse based on talent levels alone?
