Does Syracuse’s 2022 Recruiting Class Hurt Its Pursuit of 2023 Recruits?
When trying to compile more names to Syracuse’s 2023 recruiting wishlist, the amount of options were thin. It can be attributed to how far out the ’23 class is for a number of recruits choosing for or against the 315, but also to how strong the ’22 class is. According to 247 Sports, Syracuse sports…

Former Syracuse Commit Kamari Lands Stays in the ACC
Earlier this year, Syracuse’s 2022 recruiting class was jolted by an unexpected commit. He had never visited Syracuse and many thought a majority of SU’s commits would find their way to the 315 during the summer. But four-star Kamari Lands defied those expectations, choosing the Orange in April. But after a summer that saw Syracuse…

Syracuse Player Comparisons: Class of 2022 Commits Edition
The five 2022 commits are officially Orange. That‚Äôs exciting when taking into account the amount of talented recruits that have decommitted in the last couple years. So, for those not all that familiar with the skillsets of each new commit, and to tie those new faces to the season on hand, let‚Äôs compare SU‚Äôs ‚Äò22…

Syracuse’s 2022 Recruiting Timeline
The 2022 recruiting class deserves its own breakdown. From early commits and decommitments, to a wild last month, the talk around SU basketball is more about the future than the present. That’s for good reason. In February 2020, Dior Johnson, a five-star point guard, committed to the Orange in what many believed was too early…

What Syracuse Should Expect From Chris Bunch
The rollercoaster ride of the 2022 SU recruiting class just reached its apex with 4-star Chris Bunch, its highest ranked recruit to date, committing yesterday. The 6’7″ small forward visited Syracuse on June 28 and ranks 97th in ESPN’s top 100 2022 basketball recruits (three spots ahead of his future teammate Taylor). Bunch heads into…

Three years removed from a five-commit class, the Orange have landed four so far for 2022. The latest being three-star power forward Maliq Brown, announced on his high school’s Instagram page. Brown chose Syracuse over Virginia Tech, Penn State, NC State and Georgetown. In fact, his only official visit was to Central New York two…

Syracuse Stays in the Mix for Maliq Brown
Yesterday was a tough result for SU as Syracuse native and four-star JJ Starling picked another ACC program nearly 600 miles away. It proved that allegiance based off proximity is a dying tactic in recruitment. But to highlight the bad is to overlook the good. Although the buzz continues to surround the now-Notre Dame point…

Syracuse Fans Need to Keep Tabs on Maliq Brown
This summer’s recruiting scene is on record as one of the most hectic in Syracuse basketball history. It all started last year when five-star point guard Dior Johnson committed to the Orange out of the blue. It was subsequently followed by a rather quick decommitment, which got the ball rolling. Kamari Lands replicated that act…

Florida State is Falling Apart… So How Does FSU Get Top Prospects?
Florida State is a program in a massive tailspin. Some would even say the Seminoles hit rock bottom three weeks ago with a loss to FCS Jacksonville State. What was at one time a program that ruled the national scope of college football, an ACC powerhouse that was in National Championship contention. “We were Clemson…

Syracuse’s Center of Conversation is Peter Carey
It’s apparent what Syracuse fans continue to vie for: Joe Girard to revert to his stellar play in high school, a recruiting class without a decomitment and a center who elicits a cascade of cheers. SU is best at going 0-for-3 on that wishlist, and can never find a way to fulfill the third. With…

Chance Westry: So, You’re Saying There’s A Chance?
The ultimate-play-on-words name is living up to it as a recruit and giving Syracuse fans more than they can ask for‚Ķ or at least us here at the Fizz. Four-star Chance Westry, whose 2022 recruiting trail continues to create new and unexpected avenues, is once again a possibility for the Orange. Although previously favored to…

The Syracuse-Kamari Lands Marriage Did Not Last Long… Now What?
In a summer full of good news, the ending took the worst of turns for Syracuse basketball. Four-star small forward Kamari Lands has decommited from Syracuse after picking the Orange in April. This is the third time in the last three years that a recruit ranked within ESPN’s top 25 has reversed his previous verbal…

Is There Any Chance Syracuse Can Land… Chance Westry?
Prior to this summer, the recruiting scene was all guns a blazing at Syracuse. Now, the trail is starting to dissipate and for good reason. With a top 5 2022 recruiting class incoming, and three commits representing it, the plethora of talent still interested in SU starts to become an issue of too many cooks…

Another One! Quadir Copeland Picks Syracuse
The culmination of a jam packed summer of recruiting resulted in yet another 2022 commit. Three-star Quadir Copeland chose Syracuse over Oklahoma State, Oregon, La Salle, DePaul, Miami, Maryland and Penn State. Copeland joins four-stars Kamari Lands and Justin Taylor in an already star-studded 2022 class for Jim Boeheim and company. SU’s three commits triples…

Fizz Nation, Is It Too Early To Look Ahead to 2023?
Hear me out. This upcoming season could be great for a mixed group of returning and new players into a program fresh off of a cinderella NCAA tournament run. 2021 Questions: How good is Benny Williams? Which version of Joe Girard will show up? How will the Boeheims gel? Can SU survive with a thin/unexperienced…

Uh Oh Syracuse Fans… Here Comes Duke
The 2022 recruiting scene has been extra kind to Syracuse from the jump. The Orange were the fourth program to lock in two ESPN top 100 players (Kamari Lands – 24, Justin Taylor – 99), and have a few 247Sports crystal ball predictions on tap. But, it was only a matter of time until the…

Syracuse Loses Another Major Recruit with Filipowski to Duke
As the months wound down, it was a forgone conclusion that Duke was going to be the new home of four-star recruit Kyle Filipowski. The 6’10” forward with guard-like skills made it official earlier today. With both Donovan Clingan and Flip choosing other programs, Syracuse is still in a great spot, but its chances as…

Syracuse Edition: Pick a Guard, Any Guard
The last piece to the puzzle of an already stout 2022 recruiting class is a point guard. SU commit Kamari Lands can man the power forward spot at 6‚Äô8‚Äù, but also dominate in a stretch 4 role with the ability to handle the ball beyond the perimeter. Recent Syracuse commit Justin Taylor has the height…

This Is Why Copeland to Syracuse Looks Promising
In the successes of the 2022 recruiting class, with Kamari Lands and Justin Taylor, Boeheim and company are still searching for a prototypical guard to run the offense. Joe Girard III is the safe option as he‚Äôll be entering his fourth season, but Syracuse continues to sift through the pool of available recruits. Quadir Copeland…

Donovan Clingan Chooses Hometown Huskies Over Syracuse
Syracuse’s quest for its best true center in a while is over as 2022 four-star Donovan Clingan commits to his hometown UConn Huskies, just one day after his official visit. That’s not to say that SU hasn’t produced good players at the center position, but the 7-foot-1, 255-pound force down low would’ve been a game…

Syracuse’s Chances at Kyle Filipowski Are Not Looking Good
Let‚Äôs be frank, Syracuse is riding the high of landing two four-star recruits in the 2022 class. That‚Äôs great. But the Orange don‚Äôt want to slow down with a chance to grab its best recruiting class in a very long time. The key to that goal is Kyle Filipowski. The keyhole continues to shrink. All…

Syracuse Needs to Take Quadir Copeland’s Visit Seriously
There‚Äôs plenty of buzz around the 2022 recruits, so why not add fuel to the proverbial fire. No, this is not about Donovan Clingan, Kyle Filipowski, Justin Taylor, JJ Starling, Chance Westry or Zion Cruz. But about a three-star, according to 247Sports, that makes his way to Central New York today through the 24th. The…

How is the Syracuse Official Visit Experience?
A pair of 2022 recruits in Justin Taylor and Kyle Filipowski have already made their official visits to the Hill earlier this month. How‚Äôd they go? Here‚Äôs the undoubtable truth: both look good in the Orange threads. But that‚Äôs not enough to drive players to their possible four-year destination. Great official visits will though. Both…

Should Syracuse’s 2022 Offers Include Amarri Tice?
There‚Äôs been plenty of focus pinned on Donovan Clingan, Kyle Filipowski, Ty Rodgers and the many other offered players that Syracuse has extended interest toward. But the kicker is how deep the class of 2022 is, and how vigilant the Orange must stay on the market. So how about a player that has flown under…

Here’s Why Syracuse Is Eyeing 4-Star Donovan Clingan and Why You Should Too
In lieu of current struggles at the center position, the class of 2022 has that avenue covered. Also, Marek Dolezaj and Bourama Sidibe are gone in a couple years which leaves a spot open under the hoop in the 2-3 zone. The player who could fill that role is Donovan Clingan.¬† He hasn‚Äôt garnered the…
