Sometime in the near future, perhaps even in the Syracuse basketball team's next game, Tyler Lydon is going to make a play that gets you out of your seat. Whether it's blocking back-to-back attempts at the rim or throwing down a dunk in transition, the third piece of Jim Boeheim's freshman class is going to make his name known soon enough.
Lydon arrived on Syracuse's campus firmly under the radar. He was the ranked 76th in ESPN's Top 100 freshmen coming into this season, but he quickly started showing he was under-ranked. When Boeheim's Army was practicing in Syracuse for The Basketball Tournament this summer, the Orange alums were blown away by Lydon.
