No. 9 Syracuse (4 Commits)

Syracuse is coming off of a disappointing year in which they found themselves watching the NCAA Tournament at home.

The Orange were on the bubble towards the end of the season, finishing 10-8 in the ACC and 18-14 overall. It wasn’t enough to get them in the tournament.

After losing most of their impact players, it will take a lot for the Orange to have a bounce back year.

The 2017 campaign might be another rough one where they hover around .500 for most of the conference schedule. Don’t expect them to shock anyone anytime soon.

2017 Commits: 

  • Oshae Brissett (Mississauga, CAN): 6-6, 195 lbs, SF
  • Howard Washington (Buffalo, NY): 6-2, 172 lbs, PG
  • Bourama Sidibe (Newark, NJ): 6-10, 225 lbs, C, Rank – NR
  • Marek Dolezaj (Bratislava, Slovakia): 6-9, 200 lbs, PF, Rank – NR

Both Brissett and Washington are very athletic players who can play on the wing. Once again, Syracuse will have a lot of length to throw in their zone.
