Syracuse basketball has reached out to 2022 point guard Bryce Lindsay from Baltimore, an “outstanding perimeter” shot-maker.
Syracuse basketball already has an elite point guard in five-star prospect Dior Johnson within its 2022 class, but that isn’t stopping the Orange from taking a look at others at the position in this cycle, including Bryce Lindsay.
The 6-foot-3 Lindsay, an under-the-radar yet talented point guard in the 2022 class, is a junior at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute in Baltimore, a school also known as Poly.
Lindsay is unrated by the primary recruiting services for now, but that could certainly change in the future. According to his bio on the 247Sports Web site, Lindsay presently has scholarship offers from VCU, Austin Peay, Bryant, Howard and Mount St. Mary’s.
Additionally, he holds interest from a range of high-major squads, such as Syracuse basketball, along with Arizona, Arizona State, Creighton, George Washington, Georgetown, Ole Miss, Purdue, Rutgers and UCF.
Per an article by Matt Agnoli of ScarletNation.com, Lindsay “was a standout performer two weeks ago at the Beltway Battle Showcase in Delaware, an event live-streamed for college coaches.”
Lindsay told ScarletNation.com, “Purdue, Arizona, Arizona State, Tennessee, UCF, Syracuse, Georgetown, Creighton and Virginia Tech have all hit me and my coach up this past week or so.” He also says that he has “taken visits to Maryland and UCF with my father.”
Syracuse basketball has interest in 2022 point guard Bryce Lindsay, an elite shot-maker and passer with a high hoops IQ.
Van Johnson Jr., who is with Baseline Hoop Sports National Basketball Scouting, said in a recent tweet that Lindsay is “one of the better guards I have watched this summer. His ability to control the flow of game and knock down shots from anywhere on the floor is impressive. Drive/Dish/Kick/Drop off game is at an elite level.”

Scouting service Endless Motor Sports said in a tweet that Lindsay is an “outstanding perimeter off the bounce or the catch can create his own shot off the dribble.”

As Lindsay’s recruitment turns from regional to national, hopefully the Orange will offer him a scholarship. His skill-set is plentiful, and Lindsay has an admirable work ethic.
He said to Agnoli, “I will be looking mainly at the coaches if they prioritize me the most, the type of style the college plays and the players on the team – if they are leaders and hard workers.”
