This is Big
From the Sporting News (print edition):Things are looking better for PG Billy Edelin's return to the Syracuse program. He left the team after 17 games last season to deal with personal concerns. He still faces some hurdles in being able to return to competition, but the odds favor it. Edelin averaged 13.8 points and 5.2 assists in his abbreviated sophomore season; his presence would free Gerry McNamara to function as a scorer.
Edelin is worth a couple spots in my Top 25. With him in the lineup, the Orange become the favorite to the win the Big East and a legitimate national championship contender.
