A tweet from Jordan Tucker’s Twitter account announced Sunday that he has committed to enroll at Syracuse University in 2017 to continue his basketball career. Given that the 6-foot-7 Archbishop Stepinac wing is highly coveted — Arizona, Indiana, Maryland, St. John’s, UConn and Virginia are but a few of the two dozen other programs that have offered — that was pretty big news. It was also totally false; Tucker is still sorting through offers, the latest of which came from Kansas over the weekend.
