there is anything to rebuild in the family ? or just surviving the modern age ?
in terms of recruiting i guess people will always prefer to join the small and low-key family's
the westside will only take the best guys so it's not easy to join them at all
the gambino's are too
I bet there is maybe 60 guys active making $ with buttons. There is a reason the Colombos have constantly been talked about being absorbed by other borgatas.
Killing Cutulo could have been the beginning of the end. Big mistake killing someone who would have been good enough to be in the Genovese admin.
IMO if the capos really want to rebuilt the ranks and prestige of the borgata must cut any ties with the Persico clan and choose a young and smart boss that are respected by the other families like gambinos did kicking away the Gottis and give the leadership to the sicilians.
