  • Syracuse Basketball lost a lot of talent when this season ended. They had two role players graduate, and two grad-transfers graduate. The Syracuse Basketball seniors were Center Dajuan Coleman, and Power forward Tyler Roberson. The grad transfers that are out of eligibility are Small forward Andrew White III, and Point guard John Gillon. In addition, Syracuse also lost star power forward/center Tyler Lydon to the NBA Draft. This mass exodus creates a lot for questions for next year.

    That aside, what’s next for Syracuse’s seniors and Tyler Lydon (signed with an agent) now that their eligibility is up? Are they NBA bound? Are the looking more at an overseas professional career? Will be seeing them on the sidelines in a few years as coaches, maybe at Syracuse? We answer some of these questions, and looks at where they may end up and how they’ll fare.
