Thompson’s camp has expressed interest in setting up a visit to East Lansing. Obviously, that would have to happen soon. Romello White, Marietta (Ga.) Wheeler, ESPN 100 Overall Ranking: No. 77 CONSIDERING: VCU, Auburn, Georgia, Iowa State. THE 411: White recently got a release from his national letter of intent to Georgia Tech. Last year, he decommitted from Tennessee after Vols coach Donnie Tyndall got fired. As for his next landing spot, White and Co. have kept things under wraps, but most believe that Georgia and Iowa State will be strong in this one. DeShawn Corprew, Winston Salem (N.C.)

That’s because nobody else is putting its men’s (and women’s) basketball teams into Final Fours. Nobody else is sending its football players out to mix it up with the big boys in the Atlantic Coast Conference. That doesn’t mean the Orange can rest on reputation, not with a near $70 million athletic budget to feed and a small central New York corporate base. That’s why a motor home bearing giant shrink-wrap images of Hall of Fame men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim and new football coach Dino Babers rolled into Rochester late Tuesday afternoon as part of SU’s “No Huddle Tour.’’ Its mission was as clear as the blue sky above Monroe Golf Club: Press the flesh of well-heeled Orange fans, alumni and the all-encompassing group simply known as “friends of the University.’’ Nurturing these kinds of individual relationships out of season is what makes things click during the season for SU’s 18 sports teams. ...[/I] [IMG]http://static-33.sinclairstoryline.com/resources/media/06763bec-6e8a-4a63-b41c-a769c5f378bd-large16x9_BOEHEIMMONROE.jpg?1463541506672[/IMG] [B][URL='http://13wham.com/sports/syracuse-orange/boeheim-and-babers-talk-su-athletics']Boeheim and Babers Talk SU Athletics (13wham.com)[/URL][/B] [I]Syracuse basketball Coach, Jim Boeheim and new football Coach, Dino Babers were in Rochester on Tuesday.

Mareiniss also served as a favorite announcer with the Syracuse Chiefs ball club For this tribute down Mareiniss memory lane, here are excerpts from writer Steve Forrest’s question-answer session, distinctively headlined “An Interview with Joel Mareiniss,” in the Feb. 10, 1972, issue of the Syracuse New Times.

I am a graduate of Syracuse University’s School of Journalism and had worked on The Daily Orange when it was in the old Orange Publishing Building across from Archbold Stadium. [/I] [B][I]What made you interested in broadcasting?[/I][/B] [I] At age 13 I was listening to a bowl game on New Year’s Day and I was so impressed with what I was hearing that the germ was born and my career was decided. Many others come into the same profession by accident, but this is what I always wanted, and I aimed for it, and now I am doing it. The first time I sat down in front of a microphone was to do the first radio newscast to be transmitted by a college radio station, at Syracuse University in the fall of 1947. Then after the Korean War when I came out of the Army in 1953, I enrolled at SU to get my masters and I became a summertime replacement announcer at WSYR. It was supposed to be a temporary job but has become an 18-year job. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
