Weird series of events before Washington's official announcement at 3 p.m. ET
Syracuse's top recruiting target for 2016 -- at least in recent months -- has been North Carolina running back Robert Washington. With the Orange included in his top-six along with Alabama, Florida, Michigan, UNC and TCU, we were anxiously awaiting his decision scheduled for 3 p.m. ET today.
Ends up the decision's already set in stone before that announcement even happens, however. According to a Bleacher Report exclusive that went up prior to the 3 p.m. event, Washington has chosen the Gators over the other five contenders.
