Syracuse Basketball: Where is Howard Washington? (mailbag)
Rory Harris: I’d like a listing of future scholarship offers on recruits, and potential recruits Syracuse basketball is pursuing.
Neil Adler:
"You ask, Rory, and you shall receive. In the 2020 class, Syracuse already has commitments from four-star power forward Woody Newton and four-star combo guard Kadary Richmond. Isaiah Jackson, a five-star power forward in the class of 2020 out of Waterford Mott High School in Waterford, Mich., will announce his decision on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 2:30 p.m. Jackson, is down to the Orange, along with Alabama and Kentucky. Given that the ‘Cuse presently has no scholarships available for the 2020 class, my gut tells me that Jackson is going to pick either the Crimson Tide or the Wildcats, but you never really know in the fickle recruiting world until a destination is actually made. As far as the 2021 and 2022 classes, Syracuse has offered a handful of studs in each cycle. Among those in the 2021 class to receive an offer from the Orange are five-star point guard Kennedy Chandler from the Briarcrest Christian School in Eads, Tenn., four-star small forward Quincy Allen from the Maret School in Washington, D.C., four-star center Franck Kepnang out of the Westtown School in West Chester, Pa., four-star center Micawber Etienne with the Suffield Academy in Suffield, Conn., four-star small forward Benny Williams out of the St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Md., and four-star small forward John Camden from Archbishop John Carroll High School in Radnor, Pa. In the 2022 class, the ‘Cuse recently pledged a scholarship to four-star shooting guard Roddy Gayle Jr. with Lewiston-Porter High School in Youngstown, N.Y., and other schollies have gone out to guys such as center Donovan Clingan from Bristol Central High School in Bristol, Conn., five-star combo guard Zion Cruz out of Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City, N.J., point guard J.J. Starling from Charles W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville, N.Y., five-star point guard Dior Johnson with Fairfax Senior High School in Los Angeles, and four-star shooting guard Chance Westry out of Trinity High School in Camp Hill, Pa."
