A big thank you goes out to all of our Veterans Day on this national holiday. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice! On to today’s Syracuse recruiting links…
2016 forward Matt Moyer will be signing his LOI this afternoon at 2 p.m. at South Kent School. Moyer was SU’s first commit in the 2016 cycle, and took to Twitter yesterday to thank the coaching staff for “believing in me from the start.” SU’s other commit in the class, Tyus Battle, will be signing next week according to Syracuse.com’s Donna Ditota. Scout.com’s Evan Daniels released new rankings for the class for signing day, and Syracuse is at No. 16.
One prospect from the 2016 class that won’t sign in the near future is 4-star big man Taurean Thompson, reports Daniels. Thompson is still in the middle of his recruiting process, having only taken officials to Syracuse and Xavier. Seton Hall, Rutgers and Temple still remain involved in his recruitment.
