With the first practice of preseason camp happening this morning, defensive back signees Michael Moore and James Pierre have yet to arrive on campus. According to Stephen Bailey of Syracuse.com, the two defensive backs are currently in different stages of academic clearance.
James Pierre, a signee out of Deerfield Beach (Fla.) High School, has been admitted to Syracuse University, but is still awaiting clearance from the NCAA. Pierre initially signed with UNC back in February, but eventually flipped to Syracuse after being denied admission to the university. Pierre’s high school coach, Jevon Glenn, told Bailey that his enrollment has been delayed as a result of a summer course.
