How I feel about Syracuse basketball right now as a lifelong fan...
I'll cut right to it, especially for the people in this community who understand college basketball and Syracuse (for the most part). You can't talk about the (old) Big East, 2-3 zone, and greatness without Syracuse in the conversation. Are they a blue blood? No. We're no Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, UCONN, etc.
Here is my point: I've never been more disappointed to be a Syracuse basketball fan/follower than I have been in my entire life. The past 10 seasons have been a complete disaster. After the 2016 final four team, I've seen the demise happen right before my eyes.
The players are less skilled, the recruiting is subpar, and we continue to fall behind in every category. My disappointment level is beyond anything I've ever experienced with this team. I will continue to fight and stay with this team. But I would love to talk about this with people who have seen and follow the sport as much as I do.
Thanks for letting me vent.
