And whose fault were the sanctions?
No Top 15 picks in the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 drafts? Forget about the top 15 of the draft - Syracuse has only had 1 player selected in the NBA draft after 2017 (Hughes in 2020). Just last season, schools like UCF, Santa Clara and Belmont had kids drafted in the first round. The year before that, Santa Clara (again), Colorado State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Even with any lingering effects of recruiting sanctions (which ended after the 2018-2019 season), Syracuse can't compete with the recruiting of these types of programs?
