Friday, word trickled out that Dino Babers had hired former Virginia RB coach Chris Beatty to his new Syracuse Orange staff. Looks like Beatty is already paying dividends as 2016 Florida LB Kenneth Ruff has flipped his commitment from Virginia to Syracuse.

Scout notes that Beatty was Ruff's primary recruiter at Virginia. It probably helps that Ruff is currently on his official visit to Syracuse, accompanied by current Orange commits Rex Culpepper, Scoop Bradshaw, Moe Neal and Jamal Holloway.
