'Go to Pitt’: Babers urges recruits to stay in Northeast
>>Syracuse football coach Dino Babers recruited for his competitors Sunday, urging high school football players to go to Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers or Army if they wanted. He had a reason.
Babers told more than 2,000 players at the annual Lauren’s First & Goal football camp that he wanted to see them stay, and play, close to home. He insisted that there was “enough talent on this football field to win a national championship in the Northeast."
Babers then raised eyebrows by saying, “Go to Penn State” and “Go to Rutgers” before finding a player in the crowd wearing a Pitt shirt.
“Go to Pitt,” the Syracuse coach said to 2,000 gasps. “Did he just say that? Yeah. Go to Pitt. I’d rather see one of those schools do it with people at home than to [see players] run down to Clemson, Alabama or Florida State. You can play your ball right here.”<<
This from the 247 take made me look sideways... "Babers and the Orange are hard at work in the 2020 recruiting cycle with three commits to this point. There are several four-star targets who haven't announced their intentions, including wideout Jaden Dottin from Suffield, Connecticut — one of those gems Babers would like to see stay home."
