This year, Williams signed [B]Tyus Battle[/B], a 6-6 guard from New Jersey who has been nationally ranked since sixth grade. Battle played the previous season for an E.Y.B.L. team in Philadelphia and was coveted by the New Jersey Playaz, a rival squad. But he agreed to join Team Scan, in part, after Williams promised Battle’s father, Gary, that his son, a natural shooting guard, would start at the point. Putting Battle at the position wasn’t necessarily best for the team, which already had several point guards, but it would make him more desirable in the eyes of college coaches and professional scouts. At every stop on the E.Y.B.L. circuit, Williams seemed to seize the chance to build new relationships. “I heard you’re changing addresses?” he said to an opposing player he heard might be switching teams. “Get out your phone, I’ll give you my number.” A B-team, meanwhile, had to be created for players like Joel Villa.[/I] [I]...[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]SU News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [IMG]http://ecologycool.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_1139.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=3]Tallinn, Estonia[/SIZE] [B][URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2014/07/syracuses_tyler_roberson_bj_johnson_begin_europe_trip_with_usa_east_coast_team.html#incart_river']Tyler Roberson, BJ Johnsno Begin Europe Trip with USA East Coast Team (PS; Waters)[/URL][/B] [I]Syracuse University sophomores Tyler Roberson and B.J. Johnson will join their new teammates with the USA East Coast All-Stars today in New York City for two days of practice before embarking on a trip to Estonia. Next week, the USA East Coast squad will compete against three other teams for the Four Nations Cup, which is an annual event held in Talinn, Estonia. The USA East Coast team, which is comprised of 10 college players, will open play in the Four Nations Cup on Monday against the Austrian National Team. The two other teams in the event are the Estonian National Team and a pro team from Estonia's top division. Lycoming (Pa.) coach Guy Rancourt is coaching the USA East Coast squad for the eighth consecutive year. ...

Kolinski, 21, will enter her fourth and final season as a manager for the Syracuse men's basketball team. She travels with the team to road games. SU coaches trust her to work out players without staff supervision. She spends otherwise free summer hours at the Melo Center, assisting players who might need a rebounder or a passer. She estimates her duties, in-season, can consume more than 30 hours per week. ...[/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]College News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [B][URL='http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Sports/2014/07/30/follow-money-realignment']Most Profitable College Basketball Conferences (breitbart.com; Pudner)[/URL][/B] [FONT=Courier New]...

I've been very much blessed in my career to have worked on both sides of the country and to have traveled a fair amount of the world. If, that is, North America, Europe, Asia and (coastal) South America can be considered a fair amount of the world. And among the perks of my wonderful (and certainly undeserved) ride has been meeting some very good people in this media business that can, and has, attracted some of the other kind. And in the upper echelons has been Jason Benetti, a mix of supreme talent and sweet temperament. ...

The renderings show how a new viaduct would fit within a span of 198 feet -- but would leave room for the public housing units on both sides of the current highway. A new boulevard would fit within 168 feet -- enough room for sidewalks, hedges and the homes where hundreds of people now live, the drawings show. The current span at that same location is 66 feet, according to DOT. The state's right-of-way at that part of I-81 is 200 feet, Frechette said Tuesday. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
