ACC's biggest recruiting surprise is..............

[Duo]

Syracuse!

According to Rivals.com

Dino Babers and his staff have really hit the ground running. Since the dead period ended in mid-January, Syracuse has picked up 13 new commitments, nine of which are three-star prospects. What’s even more impressive is that three-quarters of those new commits were flipped or formerly committed to another school. Down the stretch, Babers is hoping to land a few more commitments from players like Stewart Reese, Adrian Killins and Jalen Martin.

Give Dino Babers a couple of years and watch out! The days of Jim Brown may well return.

No doubt Dino will have a firm Bedrock of talent upon which to build.

(aaaaggh yourself....)

Never say never. Some posters used to say snide remarks about Clemson. And look what happened. They are recruiting some of the best talent in the nation. Never say never.

Re: "wait and see"

You could say that about all the new coaches in the ACC.

Actually UAB has the habit of playing some big programs tough every once and a while.
