West Lindor created quite the stir. The Affton tight end decommitted from Syracuse in early December after he told Syracuse.com he hadn’t heard back from his recruiting coach or position coach after a series of attempts to reach them. Lindor (6-4, 210) said Syracuse demoted its offensive coordinator and replaced him. That move affected Lindor, who projects to be a pass-catching tight end/wide receiver at the college level. Syracuse’s new coordinator prefers to use a traditional pass-blocking tight end. “They demoted their offensive coordinator. He was the one who pushed my recruiter into recruiting me. They brought in a new guy and he wanted a more traditional tight end,” Lindor said. “I knew what was in store. I decommitted because that wasn’t going to work out for me.”

he page turns for the Knights, who are bringing back all five starters from last year’s squad, and they still have one of the most prolific players in the country in Tyus Battle. Battle, who led the team averaging 21.7 points per game last year, headlines a veteran lineup that is hungry to finish what they started. Battle will once again team up with Ian DeMarest, John Michael Mea, Jonas Stakeliunas and Adam Mitola to try and bring home what the Knights have sought after for the past two years. The workload will likely reside on the shoulders of Battle, who is being looked at by almost every major Division I college in the country. The dynamic junior guard is a prolific scorer who has deserved every bit of attention that he’s gotten.
