Syracuse basketball gets into the mix for 5-star prospect who is a top 2028 center

Syracuse basketball has offered 2028 five-star center Logan Chwastyk from the Philadelphia area, he disclosed on his Instagram page.

The 6-foot-11, 215-pound Chwastyk is a standout at the Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pa., which is about 20 miles away from the City of Brotherly Love. On the AAU circuits this spring and summer, he is competing for the 16U squad of the Philadelphia-based Team Final in Nike's EYBL league.

Per his social media, other new scholarship offers for Chwastyk include Indiana and Notre Dame, two teams that the Orange will face in the upcoming 2026-27 season. His full offer sheet also features Rider, Penn State, Villanova, California State University, Bakersfield, and Florida State.

The contact period for 2028 players opened on June 15, enabling the Orange staff and college coaches around the country to begin initiating direct communication with rising high school juniors.

This week, the 'Cuse has also re-offered a scholarship to 2028 four-star combo guard Carter Smith out of the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia. Smith plays alongside Chwastyk for Team Final in the 16U division.

Within the 2028 class, the industry-generated 247Sports Composite places Chwastyk as five stars, No. 19 overall, No. 7 at center and No. 2 in Pennsylvania.

Syracuse basketball is in pursuit of 2028 five-star center Logan Chwastyk.

Chwastyk is currently competing at a USA Basketball U17 national team training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo. Three dozen prospects were invited to the minicamp, which began on June 13 and will result in a 12-member team announced before the 2026 FIBA U17 World Cup from June 27 to July 5 in Istanbul, Turkey.

A post on X from January 15 noted that 18 finalists remained for the USA Basketball U17 national team, including Chwastyk.

From June 8 to June 11, Chwastyk was among those top-flight prospects who suited up at the annual National Basketball Players Association ("NBPA") Top 100 Camp in Rock Hill, S.C. Analysts and scouts named Chwastyk a top performer at this prestigious event, which included a live period from June 10 to June 11, where SU first-year head coach McNamara and his staff were on hand to watch in person.

Per statistics provided online, at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, Chwastyk averaged 7.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while connecting on 43 percent from the field.

In the current AAU season, for Team Final, Chwastyk is averaging 12.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 blocks per contest while making 55.9 percent from the field.

The former Syracuse basketball staff under previous head coach Adrian Autry had offered at least 13 prospects in the 2028 class. So far, McNamara and his assistants, in 2028, have offered Chwastyk and re-offered Smith, while showing interest in various other rising juniors.
