Could Rochester's Bishop Kearney duo be next in line for the Orange?

By Christian Claps

Over the past couple seasons, the Syracuse Orange has had its fair share of high school teammates. Paul Harris and Jonny Flynn. Scoop Jardine and Rick Jackson. As well as Brandon Triche and DaJuan Coleman are a few recent examples. That trend has the potential to continue with two teammates down the road in Rochester, New York at Bishop Kearney High School with Thomas Bryant and Chinoso Obokoh. Respectfully they are two of the top players in their respective classes. Obokoh in 2013 and Bryant in 2015.

Chinoso Obokoh is a 6'9 215 pound forward whom is rated by all of the major scouting sites as a 3 star player. Obokoh currently holds scholarship offers from Oregon, West Virginia, Villanova and Temple to name a few. Syracuse as of late has shown a lot of interest in the Bishop Kearney prospect however without an official offer.

Thomas Bryant is a 6'9 forward who is already receiving heavy interest from some of the top programs in the country. Outside of Syracuse, UNC, UConn and Pittsburgh have all been in touch with Bryant. Earlier this year Bryant was named MVP of the Super 16 National Freshman Game which features the top 16 freshman in the country.

Being such a close proximity to Bishop Kearney High School, you can count on Syracuse coaches to continue to monitor the progress of these two top prospects through the course of next year and the following years after.
