Syracuse Staff Wants J.J. Starling to Be Part of Monster ’22 Class
J.J. Starling knows the Syracuse hoops program well. He knows what the Dome looks like when 30,000 make it the loudest college venue in America. He knows the hype when Duke or UNC comes to town.

Can Gary Gait Rescue Syracuse Lacrosse From The Downward Spiral?
This was about as bad as it could get for John Desko, and the rest of Syracuse lacrosse.

Syracuse CB Duce Chestnut Named Top 100 True Freshman
Syracuse suffered through a gristly season, winners of only one measly game. Nothing went right, especially health.

Into this…

Can Creighton Steal 5-Star Zion Cruz Too?
Recently, Creighton shocked everyone by landing Arthur Kaluma. More accurately, the Bluejays shocked everyone but themselves. Creighton is coming off its first Sweet 16 since 1974. For perspective, that was four months before Richard Nixon resigned because of Watergate. The Steelers had yet to win a Super Bowl in franchise history. Willie Mays had retired…

He’s also being courted by a number of elite programs, including Duke, Ohio…

Creighton’s “NBA Style” Locks Down Kaluma’s Commitment
Most figured Arizona was the heavy favorite to land highly-prized Arthur Kaluma. They have been a Pac-12 powerhouse before the recent downturn. They had a new coaching staff with Gonzaga roots.

Arizona’s Advantage in Landing Arthur Kaluma? Sean Miller is Gone
“He wanted the Sean Miller era over. He wanted to move on from it. He just felt like the program had gone through so much.” How bad did it get in Tuscon? Even Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson was tired of it. Olson has always been a gentleman, but before his death last summer…

Could Creighton Really Land Arthur Kaluma? Yes
Creighton? Yes, Creighton. For the bluebloods and power-5 schools in college basketball it may seem strange to see the Blue Jays mentioned as a late contender for a top 50 recruit like Arthur Kaluma.
