Let’s start today by wishing the SU field hockey team good luck, as they play their national semifinal game on Friday. No Syracuse women’s team has ever won a title. On to today’s recruiting links…
Tyus Battle made it official on Wednesday, inking an LOI with Syracuse. The 2016 5-star guard had originally committed to Michigan over the summer before flipping to SU. “It’s just making a commitment to both the school and to myself,” he said to Syracuse.com’s Donna Ditota. “So it was very emotional for me, for my family.” It’s also worth checking out Scout.com’s spotlight on Battle.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverine coaching staff sent a pair of photos to Jones on Wednesday to wish him a happy birthday, which Jones posted on Twitter. Jones has over 20 scholarship offers, including Syracuse, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford and Duke.
