We all need to get more thick skinned (I over-used my "hardnosed" quota for a while)  when it comes to recruits.  If he can help the team, SS would bring him on.  I'd imagine they'd have plenty of conversation before that ever potentially happened.  Iff SS feels too burned (like Malik showed poor character in the way he handled the flip internally-that we are not aware of), we likely let him go his own way.  Even if we were burned, I do think kids can make mistakes, and be forgiven for them if they are truly regretful/sorry.

Let me throw this option out there.  Let's say he does come to SU, and succeeds.  In that case, he would be the perfect person to talk to the recruits we will be competing for in the future.  He can say "You know, in my heart I knew 'Cuse was a home for me and I felt it for months, but I chose the bright lights of the SEC at the last second.  It wasn't for me, and I knew it quickly, and got out of there.  Thankfully Syracuse gave me a second chance.  Don't waste your time like I did, we're building something big here at SU"...

It has a chance to be a good story in the end.
