TWC New Legal Expert Weights in on Boeheim Defamation Suit (twcnew.com; news staff)
...
Davis and Lang's lawsuit can now move forward. Their attorney, Gloria Allred, released a statement saying:
"It is an important decision because it affords more rights and protections to courageous victims of child sexual abuse who refuse to suffer in silence."
Time Warner Cable News legal expert Paul DerOhannesian says the case will now go into the discovery stage.
"In a case like this that's pretty significant. That means taking depositions of the various parties, perhaps bringing those in who had contact with the coach and those making statements as well as the basis for the statement. Remember if the statement's are true that's an absolute defense also to this claim of defamation," said DerOhannesian.
DerOhannesian says a motion to dismiss the case could be made again, or both parties could seek to resolve the case before heading to a trial.

SU Basketball Recruiting: Make-or-Break Players for 2015 Class (BR; Neuman!)
...
Over the summer, head coach Jim Boeheim said his 2015 recruiting class is his best ever. Boeheim already has four commits in the ESPN 100, and Boeheim said, "We're getting another, but I can't talk about that." The four players Boeheim already has locked up are Malachi Richardson, Moustapha Diagne, Tyler Lydon and Franklin Howard.
Each player is rated as a 4-star prospect by both ESPN and247Sports. In addition, each player is in the Top 75 of the ESPN 100, with Richardson the highest-ranked player at No. 19. So yeah, it's a pretty strong class already.
But Boeheim says he will be landing another player, which would make this class even better. As it stands right now, the class is already impressive, but one player could really put it over the top.

Cosmos' Signature Toasted Honey Bun Stays on Marshall Street Through Varsity Pizza (PS; Gorny)
Longtime eatery Cosmos Pizza & Grill shut its doors this summer, but one of its signature treat remains on Marshall Street near the Syracuse University campus.
Varsity Pizza now regularly offers a Cosmos-inspired toasted honey bun for $2. Manager Diana Hester says their "THB" essentially the same treat that garnered Cosmos a Food Network "Best College Eats" feature during the 2013 NCAA Basketball Tournament -- a Brighton Bakery honey bun that's sliced horizontally, buttered, grilled and served for a crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside treat.
"Everybody likes it," she said.
Varsity had sporadically offered a toasted honey bun for about two years, Hester said, so the closure of Cosmos just meant the treat became part of Varsity's menu as a regular item. She said she'd never had the Cosmos honey bun, but started to serve a version after Varsity customers began asking about it. She guessed the customer assumption stemmed from the fact that Varsity has been on Marshall Street for as long as Cosmos: Varsity was founded in 1926, while Cosmos opened in 1963.

- Trevor Cooney: Strong. Sturdy. Stoic. Unshaven.
- Nice to see they included regular student DaJuan Coleman in the poster. That's a really nice gesture.
- Michael Gbinije has hate in those eyes. Gooooooood.
- Uh, Chris McCullough...basket's this-a-way, slugger. Freshmen...
- Is it me or should Tyler Roberson and Kaleb Joseph be up front instead of in the Wall of Who Are Those Guys back there? Is this a sign? Should we read into this? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???
