Syracuse basketball had a mixed bag on the recruiting trail in recent days, with Roddy Gayle Jr. not coming to the Hill.

Syracuse basketball and its fan base have gone through a topsy-turvy recruiting week that culminated on Friday night with 2022 four-star shooting guard Roddy Gayle Jr. selecting a team other than the Orange.

First up, 2022 five-star point guard Dior Johnson announced that he would reopen his recruitment and thus de-commit from the ‘Cuse, although head coach Jim Boeheim told a different story on a Zoom call with myself and other media members.
