Ugh! Those NCAA sanctions really hurt Syracuse! LOL! What a joke!
You know they still have scholarships to give? Did you think that no one was going to go there and fill those scholarships?

The effect will be on the depth of the team, not the top of the rotation.

It'll take time, but yes, the sanctions will hurt Syracuse. Cuse had been recruiting Battle for years and had already developed a relationship with him. Sanctions will probably hurt them in 2017 and 2018 classes.

Not so much when they are reduced in length and amount which I fully expect

They skated by.

Yes, I know. Though they will skate around this as they only go about 10 deep anyhow. They will just force guys to transfer and then probably by the 2017-18 roll around the NCAA will lesser the sanctions. The whole thing is a joke. They should have been banned for at least 2-3 years from post season. Oh well!

The depth will be tough, but in signing Battle along with already committed Matt Moyer..They have 2 guys who can play 2-3 different positions. Syracuse is doing a good job getting versatile guys into those 10 scholarship spots who can play multiple places on the floor.

Gary Battle said Syracuse would be his son's college destination. There will be no more wavering.

Syracuse can thank UConn for Battle.
Actually, they can thank Mom & Dad:
But when the euphoria of the trip wore off, reality set in, especially for his mother, Daniella. She wondered if the 10-hour drive from Edison, N.J. to Ann Arbor, MI, would deter the family from spending time with Tyus, with seeing him play college basketball. And slowly, Tyus came to the realization that maybe Michigan wasn't the place for him. His dad, Gary, then urged him to take an official Syracuse trip that had been planned before Tyus committed to Michigan.

The UConn fan in me would have loved to have seen more, but losing 12 scholarships over 4 years and being restricted to only 2 coaches on the road for recruiting, when 4 is the norm, for a duration of 2 years is a major penalty that can have a major impact on recruiting. I guess we'll see what happens after the appeal, though.

We were banned for grades. We also weren't able to negotiate when it started. I wonder what they won't do to unc

Apparently word is Roy has been telling recruits that "nothing significant" will happen to UNC and that he has been "guaranteeing" it, likely meaning no post season ban.

It's still over four hours through the blinding snow from Edison, NJ to the Cuse polar region.

If UNC gets nothing or just a slap on the wrist, the entire NCAA should just be flushed down the toilet. After seeing what happened to Syracuse, I already have a plunger in hand.

Note to Mom & Dad - its 170 miles from Edison to Storrs versus 250 from Edison to Syracuse.

Thank you for your interest in UConn basketball.

Says the guy participating in a five page thread about a Syracuse commit.

Thank YOU! Is what I'm trying to say I suppose :).

Hey doc what brings you here? I mean the thought of a Cuse fan meandering on over to an insignificant programs board is shocking. You and Orange87 trying to figure out what is was like when Melo hung around for year, you know talking about "championships" outside the Helms realm?

Why?
*Whoosh*

Edit: I came back to edit because I felt like a jerk. Anyway TCF is poking fun at the Syracuse board fans who were saying "UConn can thank Cuse for Gilbert" shortly after his commitment as if them backing off somehow gifted him to us.

Damn Mau....... u had to do him like that? Lol
@docsu came in for a sip of water, not knowing a croc was in the pond...

but Congrats Cuse, it was a good get, a much needed get for the program, if not Battle, you had to fall back on the local kid (forgot his name). Ya'll over at Syracusefan should honestly send a Thank You card to Ms Battle though, she got you Tyus.

Lets be kind to our visitors please.

Docsu, I know you haven't posted on the BY much lately, feel free to stick around and enjoy the scenery. It's always nice to make our guests feel welcome. People can get a little carried away with sports and lash out for no reason.
