There are a lot of kids in Africa wearing t-shirts that say Atlanta Falcons 2017 Super Bowl champs.

Note to the Millennials, you don't win recruiting battles on instagram. You keep recruiting them until they sign the dotted line. You think this is how Columbus acted? Let me post a photo to instagram, I'm 3/4 of the way through the Atlantic? Hell no, threads like this is how complacency sets in. Take your optimism somewhere else, this is a board for perspective.

Well, Abu wore one once too!

And also maybe Wayne Selden?

That being said, it's certainly better than him wearing a Syracuse shirt.

Anything is better than a Syracuse shirt ... Trust me (and upstater), I see more than I ever care to in Buffalo.

It's little known among Millennials that Custer was complacent on his way to Little Bighorn because a picture had been posted on Instagram of Sitting Bull smoking a peace pipe. Young kids today just don't know any history.

I took him to mean he can't stand to see even one shirt.

Which jibes with what I see. There are hardly any Cuse fans her, more St. Bonaventure. I dont know why, but Bona has more fans.
 
Might go back to days of big time games at Auditorium featuring Bonnies and Canisius. The Stith brothers were big in the 60s at Bona and Bob Lanier followed them and he was a Buffalo guy. Bona was a top ten team and very popular in MSG. In those years Bona was bigger than 'Cuse in hoops.

Not to derail, I just needed to respond: That is interesting because I don't think that's my observational experience.

I feel like older generations with Little 4 ties root for those schools, and the community gets on board with the locals if they make runs (bona, UB etc.) but in my experience, Syracuse is the generic college hoop fans' team in this area...

It seems clearly the most commonly liked or clothing-represented by far, from my own view. Which makes my dislike for them even larger, and Huskies successes that much sweeter.

Duke is probably 2nd over local colleges, in fact, with the exception of alum/ties. Just general fandom, I see Cuse/Duke around here more than any others, and it sickens me.

Duke does have the Laettner connection here though, so SOME of it can be forgiven.

On to Jalen Carey.

I'm in the city so I don't see the Syracuse stuff, or up in Amherst which is UB. Or on soccer fields around the area.

From Scout.com's Syracuse writer (Mike McAllister):

Mike, obviously this would help with Carey. KU would still try to sell their use of multiple PG's but I doubt he'd buy it.

I don't think Kansas is SU's biggest threat anyway, but you're right. Would help.

Vince B.‏ @IommiCuseFan 1h1 hour ago
Replying to @McAllisterScout
Agreed. UConn is right now. Do you concur?

Mike McAllister‏ @McAllisterScout 1h1 hour ago
Replying to @IommiCuseFan
I do

What's the allure of uconn?

Close to home, history of getting guards to the league, early playing time.

Replying to @McAllisterScout @IommiCuseFan
Can make all those arguments for Syracuse plus playing in ACC

Mike McAllister‏ @McAllisterScout 11m11 minutes ago
Replying to @Scottshuster11 @IommiCuseFan
No question. Just saying that's the biggest threat to SU right now
