Breaking down the competition for DaJuan Coleman

What most thought would be a lock for SU, has turned into an heated battle between three schools. As Syracuse, along with Kentucky and Ohio State are battling for the services of the talented big man. Things could change as time goes along with the two schools competing against SU. Kentucky on one hand, are also competing to land other top quality big men such as Perry Ellis(deciding between KU and UK tomorrow), Mitch McGary, Willie Cauley, and Robert Carter. Ohio State has expressed major interest in landing Tony Parker, a top 50 big man from Georgia who has recently visited their campus and has stated on numerious occasions that the Buckeyes are his favorite at the current moment. Syracuse from the jump when it comes to Coleman has let him know that he's their first, second, and third option for the center position in the 2012 class. Any commitment from those other targets at either school could give Coleman second thoughts about going there and making his decision to where orange and staying home easier.
