Moe Neal felt at home on his July 16 visit to Syracuse. He ate at Varsity Pizza, tried on Floyd Little’s Hall of Fame jacket and discussed the Orange’s new hybrid position with sophomore Ervin Philips.
“Syracuse is trying to turn things around,” Neal said. “…and I think I want to be a part of that.”
Neal verbally committed to become the 15th member of SU’s 2016 class on Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Forestview (North Carolina) High School product is ranked as the 38th-best athlete in the class by 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. His top five schools also included Mississippi State, Boston College, Duke and finalist Wake Forest.
