"The reality of his impending matriculation, Moyer said, hit when SU's equipment manager called to ask what uniform number he preferred (3) and someone else called to inquire about which hometown to list on his bio (Gahanna, Ohio).
Battle, also an accomplished student, will study information technology at Syracuse. He will wear No. 25, his favorite number. His dad will stay with him for a few days once he arrives in Syracuse. But once Gary Battle heads home, Tyus will be on his own for the first time."
