Recruiting Updates

2013
Noah Vonleh PF-Chopped his list to six teams. Those making the cut are SU, UConn, G-Town, Indiana, Ohio St, and UNC. He'll visit SU on the first weekend of November, and along with the Orange, look for Indiana and Ohio St to be the main contenders in this battle.

Tyler Roberson PF-Just wrapped up his visit to Kansas. SU, KU, UK, and Rutgers are fighting hard for services. SU has put themselves in good position in this one but it can go either way. Update-Roberson has chopped his list to three schools, SU, Kansas, and Villanova.

Rysheed Jordan CG-Word is that it's mainly a two team race between SU & Temple. I would expect to hear a decision from Jordan soon.

Ron Patterson SG-Received an offer from SU last week and if Jordan decides not to attend SU, then there is a good chance that Patterson will end up being SU's next commit whenever he visits.

2014
Dakari Johnson C-For over the past year, I was always told that this could end up coming down to another SU & UK battle for a big man. Recently I have received word that Florida has made up a lot of ground and has become a legitimate contender in this recruitment. Johnson recently made a visit to SU last month.

2015
Thomas Bryant PF-Teammate of recent SU commit Chinonso Obokoh at Bishop Kearney in Rochester, NY. Bryant recently visited SU for their Midnight Madness event and attended practice the very next day. Even though SU has done a very good job with their recruiting efforts early on, according to a source, Bryant is very high on the UNC program and they've been the other main program to have shown him serious interest in return as well. Coach Boeheim has done a very good job keeping local talent at home lately, let's hope things will be the same in this department.

2016
Rodney Miller C-This big man from New Jersey, who will attend St. Benedict's Prep along with Tyler Ennis and Isaiah Briscoe is a name to lookout for. While still very young, Miller presents a huge upside and has the potential to be one of the very best players in his class at his position.

BJ Johnson Commits to Syracuse

For the second day in a row SU receives another commitment. Johnson is a 6'8 wing from Philly, and being a year younger for his grade he presents plenty of upside down the line. While he needs to get stronger, he's a good shooter, decent athlete, and impacts the game defensively. Look for a redshirt year to benefit Johnson greatly.

Chinonso Obokoh Commits to Syracuse

After visiting SU for an official visit this past weekend. Obokoh decided to end things early and give SU his commitment. Obokoh is new to the game of basketball after coming over from Nigeria a few years ago. He presents good upside already being a strong defensive presence inside, along with an good motor getting up and down the court.

Wayne Selden commits to Kansas

Selden was suppose to visit SU next after attending the Kansas midnight madness. Instead he has decided to end things after the recent visit and has given Kansas his commitment. That leaves Rysheed Jordan as SU's main combo guard target at the moment.

James Young Commits to Kentucky

SU made a late push to get into Young's final group of schools and were hoping to get a visit. That never happened with SU or any other school outside of Kentucky, and without much suspense the Wildcats received his commitment to go along with the Harrison Twins.
