Clark to Visit Syracuse Friday (arab.com; Tankersley)
Brindlee Mountain lineman Steven Clark was, indeed, offered a scholarship when Syracuse defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough visited him two Fridays ago at a Lions’ basketball game.
Clark, who already has made a non-binding verbal commitment to play for Joey Jones’ on-the-rise South Alabama team, will take an official visit to Syracuse next weekend.
He’s non-committal on his plans, but Clark likely feels some pressure to make a splash simply for the sake of his high school program. Having a player sign with a power conference team can only help the image of the Lions’ football program, which needs a boost.
Family members are privately hoping another ACC team like Georgia Tech comes calling eventually. Also, Minnesota of the Big Ten is recruiting Clark but has not made an offer.

Six Ways the Drop in Oil Prices Will Affect CNY (PS; Hannagan)
The 40 percent drop in oil prices worldwide is playing out in some interesting ways from the cost of putting gas into the tank to diplomatic relations with Iran.
Here are six ways that the drop in oil prices are rippling through the economy.
1. Gasoline prices are dropping.
GasBuddy shows that in the Syracuse area the average price dropped 18 percent over the year, from $3.60 in 2013 to $2.95.
The cost per gallon is even lower if you live in the Western suburbs where a price war brought on by Costco in Camillus has driven prices down to $2.68 per gallon, a 25 percent drop over the year.

House of the Week: Co-Op Living Near Downtown Syracuse (PS; Tampone)
David Morgan is selling is co-op apartment at 377 W. Onondaga St., but he isn't going far.
Morgan is planning to move to a new, recently renovated unit in the same building. The building's location near downtown Syracuse was a major draw for Morgan when he moved in more than two years ago.
"It's an exciting place to be," he said. "There's a lot of energy."
Morgan is within walking distance to Onondaga County's Central Library, the Landmark Theatre, Armory Square, Nojaim Brothers Supermarket and his workplace at the state office building.
Morgan downsized to his current home from a larger house in Syracuse's Tipp Hill neighborhood. He looked at apartments in the city and the suburbs, but didn't find anything he liked.
He found the 377 building online. It's a co-op, a rarity outside New York City.
Residents like Morgan become shareholders in a cooperative that owns the building. They pay a co-op fee of $440 a month that covers things like building maintenance and upkeep, water, sewer and taxes.
