Last week Bruce Feldman of The Athletic looked at the Syracuse Orange football program’s success in the 80s and 90s. He talked with former players and coaches and left us to question if Syracuse could reclaim that past glory. It’s a question we’ve discussed here often, but it’s worth looking at some of the points made by those who were part of that success.

The Orange enjoyed limited competition in the Northeast, but now that’s changed. Using ON3’s state rankings for 2024, you can see that Michigan (3) and Georgia (2) have landed commitments from top 10 recruits in New York and Connecticut.
