2016 verbal commit Matthew Moyer says Boeheim announcement does not affect status

Class of 2016 men’s basketball recruit Matthew Moyer will stay committed to Syracuse despite Jim Boeheim’s planned retirement, Moyer said in a text on Wednesday morning.

A four-star power forward from Lincoln (Ohio) High School, Moyer is the lone verbal commit in the Orange’s Class of 2016.

SU Chancellor Kent Syverud said in an email that Boeheim intends to retire in three years, which will be after his 42nd year as the head coach at Syracuse. Moyer would be finishing his sophomore season if he were still to be with Syracuse.

It has not yet known whether Class of 2015 signees Malachi Richardson, Tyler Lydon, Moustapha Diagne and Frank Howard’s commitments will be affected by Boeheim’s intended retirement.
