No, you are not elite yet Gators. You need to actually get your fans to go to games first, but you have potential if you can fix this.

Syracuse is in the Blue Blood second tier, with Louisville, Arizona, Georgetown, UConn and Michigan State.


Second tier on that list

Louisville (probably most likely to enter the elite level in 20 years)
Connecticut
Michigan State

Arizona was mostly just Lute
Georgetown was mostly just Thompson

i wouldn't call them elite. i don't think most top recruits are wanting to live in a city that cold if they have other options.

i think the issue they pose for teams is the coach runs a zone defense that teams don't see much.

I'd say Syracuse a a 3rd tier BLUEBLOOD. I would put Villanova over them.


That's just...silly. Nova is a program that has some really good years breaking up a general history of overall mediocrity. As a small private Catholic school, that's almost inevitable unless you're ND.

I'm disappointed a UK fan who, in theory, should be much more interested in basketball than the average SEC fan, would say this.
