Syracuse is one of four schools that Tucker is considering. Along with Syracuse, Tucker's final list of colleges includes Villanova, Georgia Tech and Oregon. Tucker recently eliminated Indiana after the school fired coach Tom Crean. Tucker's father, Lew, said his son was talking to the Syracuse coaches to set up an official visit to the SU campus soon. "We're looking to do an official visit in the next week or so,'' Tucker said Tuesday. "Probably around the 16th and 17th.'' Tucker will take an official visit to Oregon this weekend, his father said. He previously visited Villanova and is very familiar with Georgia Tech as he lives near Atlanta. ESPN.com lists Tucker as the No. 40 prospect in the 2017 class. Lew Tucker said his son now stands 6-feet, 8-inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. He possesses an excellent outside shot and competed in a 3-point shooting contest at the NCAA's Final Four this past weekend. Tucker spent his first three years of high school at Archbishop Stepinic in White Plains, N.Y. The family moved to the Atlanta area last summer and he attended Wheeler High School in Marietta, Ga., this past year.[/I] ...

But Syracuse has wasted no time in moving forward to what has been a whirlwind of an offseason. The biggest domino to fall was coach-in-waiting Mike Hopkins filling the big chair at Washington. Hopkins had been with SU since 1996 and had made himself into one of the best recruiters in the country. That torpedoed the succession plan leading into what was supposed to be Jim Boeheim’s swan song season. In order to stabilize the program, Boeheimn signed an extension and promptly promoted Adrian Autry to associate head coach. [URL='http://www.At their request, this network is being blocked from this site./college/syracuse/story/1766176-allen-griffin-hired-syracuse-assistant']Allen Griffin[/URL] reportedly will be hired to the staff. Tyler Lydon also declared for the NBA Draft while Tyus Battle announced that he’ll return for his sophomore year. In an effort to replace some of the wing scoring lost to Lydon and Andrew White’s departures, Syracuse is attempting to get back into the recruiting race for Jordan Tucker. Formerly from New York but now residing in Georgia, Tucker would provide the Orange with some much-needed three-point shooting. And portions of next year’s schedule are starting to leak out. Syracuse will tangle with the Kansas Jayhawks in early December in Miami as part of the Hoophall Invitational. The Orange will also host Toledo, Oakland and Texas Southern as part of that tournament. Syracuse’s streak of playing former Big East foes will continue with a visit to Georgetown and a clash against UConn at Madison Square Garden as part of the Jimmy V Classic. And expect the Orange to host a game in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge after visiting Wisconsin last December. The ACC has released home and away opponent for league play though dates and times are still unknown. Syracuse will play a home-and-home with Boston College, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest and Virginia. Home games only against Clemson, North Carolina, N.C. State, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. The away slate is hardly a walk in the park with trips to Duke, Louisville, Georgia Tech, and both Florida schools, Florida State and Miami.[/I] ...

It goes without saying that North Carolina played well this year, and from that there is a lot Syracuse can learn. Jim Boeheim court will don a different team than we saw this season come the fall. To improve its play and see different (better) results next year, here are three lessons the Orange can learn from the national champions: Perfect the Post Route I’ve mentioned this before, and now I have to mention it again. North Carolina’s execution at the post has haunted Syracuse throughout this entire season. In the 2016 Final Four, North Carolina repeatedly brought the ball to the wings, passed it to the top of the key and then passed the ball to the post (under the basket) for an easy bucket. This season and in the 2017 Tournament, the Tar Heels utilized this play all the way to the title game.[/I] ...

SU announced in late March a curriculum partnership between its School of Information Studies and Le Moyne’s Madden School of Business, along with an extension of the current relationship between Le Moyne and the College of Law. The institutions are playing off each other’s strengths, said Sue Corieri, assistant dean for enrollment management and special academic initiatives at the iSchool. New opportunities are being developed within pre-existing programs that linked the iSchool with Le Moyne’s Madden School. Using a “plug and play” module of curriculum, students from SU and Le Moyne will be able to customize their degrees and incorporate a selected specialty Certificate of Advanced Study from the partner school into their home school’s master’s program. SU students will be able to take courses at Le Moyne and vice versa. CAS components from SU are in the subject areas of information and security management and data science, and those from Le Moyne include enterprise systems and health information systems — subject areas not offered in the iSchool or SU’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Corieri said. “We thought it would be wise to leverage the strengths of the other institutions and accept those courses into our master’s program,” Corieri said. This program is not yet complete, but could begin as early as next fall, Corieri said. Students will be able to choose to just take courses or to earn a CAS.[/I] ... [/QUOTE]
