Renaissance Man to Join the Orange (PS; Carlson)
Before Matthew Moyer announced his college intention on Twitter, calling himself blessed and declaring how happy he is to call Syracuse his future home, he trudged through a litany of miserable phone calls.
With 25 official scholarship offers in hand, Moyer contacted every coach who had offered him one. Ten of the ones he'd spoken to the least frequently he contacted via text, but he called 15 coaches personally, going through the break-up process with coaches who'd pursued, flattered and attempted to build relationships with the 16-year-old.
"I'm not going to lie," Moyer said. "It was hard. I'm not going to name names because I have too much respect for some of the coaches, but it was discouraging. It was disappointing. But I wanted to do it with class."

Syracuse Lands Verbal From Class of 2016 Forward Matthew Moyer (TNIAAM: Constas)
The future of Syracuse Orange basketball just got a little bit brighter on Friday afternoon as class of 2016 forward Matthew Moyer tweeted that he would be taking his talents to Syracuse.
Moyer, a 6'8" forward out of Lincoln High School in Gahanna, Ohio, is the first commit the Orange have received from his class. He is rated 90th overall by Yahoo! Sports for his class and ESPN does not have him currently listed in their top 60.
Syracuse.com's Mike Waters said Moyer made his decision while attending the Syracuse Elite Camp at the Carmelo K. Anthony Center, when he received an offer to play at the school. He also added that the junior in high school had approximately 25 other offers to choose from.
Moyer still has two years of high school to complete before joining the Orange and is apparently soaring up national charts. He should have time to grow, and already with his current size and length he seems to be a perfect fit for the team's scheme. Long and athletic with a wingspan of 7'2".

Ohio State Offers Moyer But He Visits Syracuse and Verbals There (plaindealer.com; Wesserman)
...
Rated by the No. 90 overall player in the 2016 recruiting class, Moyer had scholarship offers from Arizona State, Dayton, Florida, Illinois, Kansas State, Northwestern, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Xavier and others.
Moyer got his scholarship offer from Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim on Wednesday, so it took only two days to decide on the Orange.
Before Ohio State offered, he was thought to have been very interested in the Buckeyes. But Ohio State may have waited too long to offer the local prospect, which could have resulted in another Ohio recruit leaving the state.
Missing on in-state prospects has become somewhat of a theme for Ohio State in recent years, and it was particularly magnified in the case of Columbus point guard Trey Burke, who never earned an offer before winding up becoming the National Player of the Year at Michigan and an eventual first-round NBA draft selection.

Lazarus Sims Will Not Return to Binghamton Hoops Staff This Fall (PS; Waters)
Syracuse, N.Y. -- After two years as an assistant coach at Binghamton University, Lazarus Sims is no longer with the school, according to reports.
The Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin reported that Binghamton coach Tommy Dempsey confirmed that Sims was no longer part of the Bearcats' program.
"Laz will not be coming back next season," Dempsey told the newspaper. "I appreciate the time he put in the past two years, but we decided to go another way with the coaching staff. We hope to have our staff finalized as soon as possible."

Miracle in a CNY Cornfield (PS; Hannagan)
Aurelius, NY - Heading out on the country roads west of Auburn you see cows, cornfields and in the middle of one field a shiny $101 million milk processing plant.
Kevin Ellis, the chief executive officer of the new Cayuga Milk Ingredients plant on Eagle Drive calls it a "miracle in a cornfield."
The 21 dairy farmers who invested in the company see it as a way to have more control over the profit they earn from their milk.
And the surrounding community sees a company that expects to earn $170 million in annual revenues, employing 58 people with a $3.5 million annual payroll.
"This has been quite an exciting project for our farmers and the families that own the plant," said Bill Morgan, a dairy farmer. He is chairman of the board of Cayuga Milk Ingredients, which owns the plant, and Cayuga Marketing, its parent.

Apartments Planned for Century Old Syracuse Lakefront Building (PS; Moriarty)
Developer Mark Congel is planning to turn a 109-year-old former washing machine factory into apartments near the Syracuse Inner Harbor, adding to the construction activity suddenly taking place in the city's lakefront area.
Congel said he will convert the former Easy Washing Machine Co. factory at 800 N. Clinton St. into approximately 60 market-rate apartments, with some ground-floor retail or commercial space.
Apartments in the four-story building will range from 750 square feet to 1,000 square feet, with monthly leases of $800 to $1,200. They will have an industrial look, featuring exposed-brick walls. Those on the upper floors will have impressive views of the lakefront area, the city's North Side and downtown's skyline.
