Thought it was relevant, because this may aid us in the pursuits of Tyus Battle and Jamal Murray to a lesser degree. A 3 scholarship reduction for 4 years is huge.
Syracuse penalties include five-year probation, scholarship reductions, vacation of wins, 9-game suspension for head basketball coach.
Dylan - have no idea if the sanctions will impact 2015 recruits that have already signed LOIs (I assume no), but will this impact Matthew Moyer’s ability to go to Syracuse?
Dylan - if I’m reading this correctly, this would imply Moyer can no longer attend Syracuse assuming they don’t have massive transfers, as the NCAA limit is 13 scholarships and Syracuse will have 10 players on scholarship in the 16-17 season…which is the max allowable per the NCAA sanctioned reduction of 3 schollies per year. Looks like Moyer may be back on the market
I’m assuming Moyer will reconsider OSU, and if he lands there, they won’t presumably have a spot for Towns.
On the Battle front, they were recruiting him as a primary ballhandler. Gary Battle said that was a big plus, so this eliminates some of our biggest competition.

Hopefully has a nice trickle affect. It can’t hurt at least.
I don’t think Syracuse will have massive transfers, because no post-season ban beyond this year. If anything, the younger players may actually like it because they will be all but guaranteed playing time…net result is no Moyer.
Don’t know how this is possible unless the staff knows of some attrition or they are letting a 15 out of the NLI. In any event, this pretty much shuts the door on Tyus Battle to Syracuse if true
Espn 60 Matthew Moyer "I just spoke to coach Boeheim and I am staying committed to SU, they assured me of my scholarship" Moyer told Espn.
I’ll say this, these sanctions seem pretty harsh considering there are plenty of teams out there that have done and are doing the same thing right now, yet hiding behind the curtain.
