Here is my thing people are talking like Battle was ours to lose.  We have built relationships for three years with the kid.   If he was a lock he would have committed a long time ago.    For Battle its clear something didn't feel right about him coming to Syracuse.  Had nothing to do with the penalties.   We have been on the kid way before those were handed it.    Is it the loss of ships?   Can't be there is one here for him if he wanted.   We have a top class coming in this year and another top 50 (AT WORST) player already signed up for next year.    So if he was really "OURS" to lose he would have committed a long time ago.

It is clear that he didn't feel that he fitted in a Syracuse or was never really comfortable here or like I said he would have committed a long time ago.    The penalties are just and excuse to not come here when he didn't really want to come here in the first place.   I blame the staff for misjudging his interest level.   If he can take one visit to another school and basically commit on the spot then they needed to realize he wasn't that interested and move on sooner.   Maybe that is why we saw a rush of PG offers going out a couple weeks ago.
