The Broyldening: Ashton Broyld, Myles Davis Enrolled At Syracuse

Smile, Doug. This is good news. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

It's been a long, strange trip for both Ashton Broyld and Myles Davis but the two are officially now members of the Syracuse Orange and have enrolled at the University.

Judging by their photos, they're thrilled about it.

The saga of Broyld has made him a well-known name before he even dons the orange (or gray, as it were) and not for the best reasons. When the 2010 New York State Class AA Player of the Year was first recruited in 2010, he sounded like the heir apparent to the SU QB throne.

And then he whipped it out on a basketball court during a game.

Broyld was charged with lewd exposure, sentenced to 80 hours of community service and his football scholarship looked shaky as well. It was announced that Broyld was ineligible to attend SU due to academic issues, though one can' help but wonder if the incident didn't play into things.

Off to Milford Academy he went, where he tore things up, scoring 12 touchdowns through the air and on the ground. He also got his academics back in order cause here he is, back where he belongs. Just keep it in your pants, Ashton. He joins John Kinder and Terrel Hunt in the quest to replace Ryan Nassib.

Meanwhile, I feel like we've been waiting for Myles Davis to get here for years. Likely because we have.

Star-divide

Davis originally committed to SU back in 2009. He ended up not qualifying and spent 2010 at Milford Academy. He unfortunately suffered an ACL injury that derailed his 2010 season, but not before he was rated No. 14 in the Rivals.com Prep School Top 50. The injury forced him to miss the 2011 season.

However, he's still here and still committed to the Orange. Both of these guys went through a lot to get to Syracuse and Syracuse stood by and honored their commitments the entire time. There's something to be said for that. Welcome aboard, fellas.

Myles Davis

Recruited by G-Rob. In the interim, G-Rob has been fired, hired, and fired again. And unemployed for a year (or whatever G-Rob did in 2011).

God he had some great nicknames

and some terrible coaching skills

Since the early 1990's I have not been able to get Mike Hopkins' bloody face out of my brain. I don't remember what game it was but I'll never forget that as my first memory of SU basketball. Mike Hopkins, bloody face, bloody nose, all for the love of Syracuse.

I'd like to think

he was on the G-Rob radar a few months before his decision to ultimately sign with us. Especially given that Conley was his recruiter and a holdover from the G-Rob area. After all, he committed in spring 2009, just a few months after HCDM was hired.
