Here’s an article from InsideTheLoudHouse.com about the recruitment of JJ Starling.
A 6-0 guard who hails from Baldwinsville, New York, he plays at LaLumiere School in Indiana, not far from Lake Michigan and the Michigan state line.
Baldwinsville is about 13 miles upstream from Syracuse. You could probably raft down Seneca River and across Lake Onandaga and you’d pretty much be there.
So surely Syracuse is going to be interested. But they were interested in Greg Paulus too and he chose Duke. Of course the schools went toe to toe for Joe Girard too, and he of course stayed home in upstate New York.
