Recruiting Updates

2013
Wayne Selden SG-Cuts list to 6. SU, UF, OSU, UCLA, Kansas, and Mizzou. Over the summer Selden favored UF and OSU, but things are more open now and SU stands a decent shot to land him.

Tyler Roberson CF-Cuts list to 10. SU, Alabama, South Carolina, Rutgers, and Seton Hall are the main schools to look out for. Roberson plans to take an official visit to SU soon.

Jermaine Lawrence PF-Cut list to 7. Which includes SU, UK, UCLA, St. John's, and Cincy among others. SU looks to be the current leader but Lawrence doesn't have any visits planned yet, and isn't in any rush to make a decision.

Youssoupha Kane C-Has decided to sign with a Juco. SU expressed some interest in the big man back in the spring.

2014
Trey Lyles PF-Since decommitting from Indiana, some have wondered if SU was recruiting him or not due to certain rumors being tossed around. Scout had an update on his recruitment and SU was not listed as one of the schools currently recruiting him.

Chris McCullough PF-SU has made him one of their main priorities for 2014. When McCullough visits next week for the elite camp, it will be his second visit to SU, which bodes well for their chances to land him.

Dakari Johnson C-Received new offers from UNC and OSU over the summer. Now both schools are strongly in the mix along with SU and UK for the talented big man.

Goodluck Okonoboh PF and Malik Price-Martin PF-Both have now reclassified to 2014. SU offered both in the 2013 class, so I'm sure tabs will be kept on both for 2014.

2015
Isaiah Briscoe CG-It would be a surprise if he didn't commit to SU sooner than later.

The following 2015 players are names to pay closely attention to for the years to come.
Thomas Bryant PF
Montaque Gill Caesar SF
Franklin Howard SG
Bryant Crawford PG
Malachi Richardson SG
Lamarr Kimble PG
Cheick Diallo C
Marcus Derrickson SF/PF
Jessie Govan C
