When you can upgrade with established players why wouldn’t you. They improved at the attack, d-middie, defense and faceoff all areas of need and they did it with solid guys. This is the new world order and you have to do whatever it takes to win. Rutgers is struggling in the recruiting game so they go to the transfer portal

well, that sure implies that "struggling" is an understatement...

3 years ago Rutgers had a great recruiting class. Then they started bringing in transfers. The same coach that recruited these kids, that told them they’d play, that got them to commit there instead of another program are still waiting to play due to constant transfers. One good year. The rest have been bust years. What kind of street cred can that coach now have (or have had in past two years)? Good players see what’s going on. They know kids that were made promises. They’ve seen their friends sit for three years. No way I’d want my kid (whenever I have one) to play for that kind of coach. Same with Georgetown. Great school. Great education. Kids chose those schools because of education AND lax. They only got 50%.

Still TBD to know if they upgraded. They lost a 1st team AA LSM in Rall, Cameron at attack proved to be the juice on offense, Russo at close was as solid and consistent as any other D1 defender, Dugenio had his best year. Bold statement saying the transfers are an upgrade to this years squad when they haven’t played a game.

Sorry, did not mean to imply that the transfers were upgrades over the kids the lost but an upgrade over the group that was returning . I think they have a solid nucleus of players but if you can inject talent with those kids while allowing the young players to get experience seems like a no brained to me.

Very low character, no talent pathetic human beings who have so publicly admitted they can’t compete without going this cowardly route.
No idea how they can even look themselves in the mirror let alone look their recruits and families in the eye.

Pretty simple. Gait is entering his third year as coach for the Orange, his first recruiting class in entering their freshmen year. Desko brought in a great class in 2020 but the years prior that were pretty shallow. Gait is trying to make up for his predecessor. Brect doesn’t have that excuse.

Not only that, but Syracuse used to be able to bolster their classes though OCC, but not recently. I was told here that the reason was that the coaching at OCC is not what it used to be. But, they still should have the institutional memory of how to integrate transfers effectively.

If your 18-19 year old son isn't cutting it and is getting beat out by a 22 year old D3 All American who just transferred in, who would you play? Every school is using the portal as part of the recruiting process. Rutgers lost one guy who played last year to the portal so to those who posted about promises, you know nothing. Time will tell how this all plays out but the portal is here to stay until the NCAA changes that and that doesn't look like it is changing anytime soon. The portal and NIL is here to stay, the good and the bad of both.
