Recruiting Updates

2013
Dakari Johnson-Officially chopped his list to three. SU, Kentucky, and Georgetown making the final cut. I expect another SU vs Kentucky recruiting slugfest in this one.

Chinonso Obokoh-Unfortunately he is expected to be out indefinitely according his coach, due to an foot injury. Obokoh has been dealing with the injury before the season started. Obokoh's Bishop Kearney, is off to to a disapointing 1-2 start.

Ron Patterson-Lots of hype and anticipation for his Brewster teammate Chris McCullough, but Patterson over the last few weeks has started to show that he's worthy of praise as well. In his last 3 games for Brewster Academy, Patterson has led the team in scoring by averaging 20.3PPG.

Rysheed Jordan-There was some talk that after Patterson committed, that the SU staff would still target Jordan. It doesn't look to be the case anymore, as Jordan has stated he could decide between Temple, St. John's, and UCLA any moment now.

2014
Chris McCullough-Has stated on numerous occasions his desire to reclassify in the 2013 class. Unfortunately for him it seems to be wishful thinking on his part and it appears highly unlikely that he'll be able to do so. Update-As first reported by Adam Zagoria, McCullough has officially announced that he'll stay in the 2014 class.

Isaiah Whitehead-Recently told Scout that SU, Zona, and Louisville are some of the schools recruiting him the hardest among others. As stated on here before, SU still leads but don't look for a decision anytime soon.

Goodluck Okonoboh-Stated SU, Kentucky, and Mizzou were showing the most interest. Mike Hopkins attended Okonoboh's game last week. Okonoboh's Wilbraham & Monson squad was blown out by Tyler Ennis and St. Benedict's this past Sunday.

A few new names to remember that has been recently offered by SU are SG Dion Wiley and PF Jakeenan Gant.

2015
Isaiah Briscoe-His Father told Scout recently that SU, Florida, and Zona currently stand out. Stated that no decision will be made until next summer, when they see how the considered schools rosters are looking like with their current guards.

Other 2015 names that the SU staff has checked out for fans to keep their eyes on are the following below.

Malachi Richardson SG/SF
