SNY.tv’s very own, Adam Zagoria, writes about Jim Boeheim’s upcoming retirement. “If this run keeps going and we hit maybe two or three more Final Fours, we might have him for another 4 or 5 good ones, so you never know,” said Syracuse commit Matt Moyer.

Syracuse has reached out to Columbia graduate transfer Grant Mullins, according to ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. Mullins averaged 13.3 ppg on 43.9 percent shooting from 3 in 31.1 mpg.

Oklahoma tight end Blake Williams, who recently reclassified to the class of 2017, picked up an offer from Syracuse earlier in the week, he tweeted. He will be attending Canadian Prep Football Academy next season.

2017 Illinois 4-star offensive lineman Kevin Jarvis announced his commitment to Michigan State on Thursday. Jarvis also held an offer from the Orange. “With me, I was sold on Michigan State, and there was really no point for me to keep on waiting and looking at other schools,” said Jarvis to Mike Griffith from MLive.com.

Crete (Ill.) defensive lineman John Mitchell picked up an offer from Syracuse, according to Scout.com’s Allen Trieu. The 2017 prospect is rated three stars and holds offers from Illinois, Buffalo, and Central Michigan, among others.
