Although Syracuse petitioned the NCAA for a waiver to declare PG Billy Edelin eligible to start the season, it appears likely he will not play in fall semester games even if he gets a favorable ruling. Edelin withdrew from classes during the spring term because of personal reasons and thus didn't have enough credits to start his junior season. Freshman PG Josh Wright will try to win the job alongside veteran Gerry McNamara. It still is possible Edelin will join the Orange in December. . . .
