Eric Coley started to doubt his decision. It was weeks after the high school senior committed to Syracuse and, despite all signals indicating otherwise, Coley worried he jumped the gun and committed just to get the recruiting process over with. People around him began to question whether or not he committed to the Orange only because his stepfather, Vinson Reynolds, coached there.
During that time, Coley came upon one passage of the Bible involving Paul the Apostle’s shipwreck on Malta. One of the places Paul travels to after leaving Malta is Syracuse, a city on the island of Sicily.
