Syracuse Basketball: Jalen Carey Down to Just Syracuse and Uconn (itlh.com; Peelman)
Syracuse Basketball got some good news in terms of the recruitment of Jalen Carey. Inside the Loud House has the details.
Syracuse Basketball has already gotten some good news in wake of the latest NCAA scandal. Jalen Carey‘s dad announced that Carey is no longer considering Miami as a college choice, according to Syracuse.com. That leaves only Syracuse and Uconn as contenders for his services. This comes as a direct result of a Miami assistant coach’s involvement in the NCAA scandal.
Living in Montclair, New Jersey, that leaves Carey close to both schools left on his list. He is set to announce on October 11th which does not leave him much time.
Carey is highly ranked on all recruiting sites. He’s ranked 54th nationally in the 2018 class by 247 sports.com, 78th by At their request, this network is being blocked from this site., and 34th by ESPN.com. He is a four star recruit at all three recruiting websites. He is considered a point guard, which Syracuse badly needs more of.
Syracuse Basketball already has an unbelievable recruiting class in 2018. Right now, they have East Carolina transfer Elijah Hughes, five star recruit Darius Bazley, and Buddy Boeheim all set to play in 2018.
If the Orange add Carey they could be a young, but dangerous team in 2018-2019. The Orange can possibly even add one or two more depending on transfers, early departures to the pros, or graduation after this upcoming season ends.

Former Syracuse basketball player, longtime NBA assistant Frank Hamblen dies at age 70 (PS; Waters)
Frank Hamblen, who played at Syracuse in the late 1960s before embarking on a long NBA coaching career, died on Saturday at the age of 70.
Hamblen played at Syracuse from 1966 to 1969. He averaged 4.0 points per game in his three-year varsity career. As a junior in 1968, he scored 6.8 points per game. He was a career 87.2 percent free throw shooter.
Hamblen was an astute student of the game, though. Immediately after his college career ended, he got a job as a scout with the San Diego Rockets. That began a 42-year career in the NBA.
Hamblen was a part of seven NBA championship-winning teams. He was an assistant to Phil Jackson with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls. Hamblen was an assistant on Chicago's 1997 and 1998 NBA championship teams. He then won another five titles as an assistant with the Lakers.
In 2011, he received Syracuse's Letterwinner of Distinction honor.
Hamblen also was an assistant with the Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets, the Kansas City/Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks.
He served as interim head coach with the Bucks and also finished the 2005 season as the Lakers' head coach after Rudy Tomjanovich stepped down in the middle of that year.
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Hamblen was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.
Louisville basketball's Brian Bowen hires attorney to seek reinstatement, remains on campus (courier-journal.com)
Brian Bowen, the five-star recruit who has been suspended indefinitely after the FBI revealed evidence of an improper payment scheme to bring him to Louisville, has retained Miami attorney Jason Setchen in an effort to gain reinstatement.
Bowen remains on campus but was not permitted to practice with the team when formal preseason workouts started on Sunday.
Setchen, who specializes in NCAA eligibility cases, succeeded in gaining reinstatement for University of Miami basketball player DeQuan Jones in the 2011 case involving infamous Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro.
Shapiro told Yahoo Sports that he had paid $10,000 to sign with Miami. But after initially announcing Jones would sit out the 2011-12 season, Miami reinstated the player after the first 10 games of the season.
"Many times athletes find themselves being treated unfairly and feel as though they do not have independent support when encountering a disciplinary or administrative situation with their university or a governing body like the NCAA," a statement on Setchen's web site says. "In many cases coaches and athletic departments do what they perceive to be in the PROGRAM’S best interest and do not concern themselves with the best interest of the student-athlete. Student-athletes need their own advocates to guide them through this complex and difficult landscape."
The FBI alleged Tuesday that representatives of Adidas agreed to funnel $100,000 to the family of a top recruit to steer him to Louisville. Though he was not named in the documents released by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Bowen's recruitment plainly fit the FBI's description and the university subsequently confirmed that he had been suspended from team activities.

Owner of Syracuse factory with mysterious house on roof killed in crash in Greece (PS; Moriarty)
Yiorgos Kyriakopoulos, owner of a former Syracuse factory famous for the mysterious house on its roof, has died in a traffic accident in Greece, where he went to attend his oldest brother's funeral.
Kyriakopoulos, 62, was killed Monday evening when the car he was driving slid across the center line on a rain-soaked road and collided head-on with a truck, his long-time domestic partner, Clelia Ilacqua, of Syracuse, said.
He flew to Greece following his brother Gregorio's death at the age of 75 on Friday, Ilacqua said.
"He was heartsick about his brother, whom he loved so dearly," she said.
Past owners have been secretive about the house atop the former Moyer carriage and car factory, but new owner Yiorgos Kyriakopoulos shows it off.
Kyriakopoulos visited his surviving brother, Themis, in Dilesi, Greece, earlier Monday and was making a four-hour drive to his hometown of Amaliada to visit other relatives when the accident occurred, she said.
He left home when he was just 12 years old to work on merchant and cruise ships, she said. At the age of 15 and without knowing any English, he jumped ship in New York City, eventually getting a job working in the kitchen of a small restaurant, she said.
He later started a produce-delivery business and, after that, a trucking company in New Jersey, where he met Ilacqua, a Syracuse native, in 2003.
