On Friday, ESPN’s John Gasaway remarked that the Syracuse Orange basketball program was at a crossroads. A lot of that centered on the upheaval of the last few seasons, the change to the ACC and most recently, Mike Hopkins’s departure to Washington.
It also talked about SU’s current recruiting questions -- ones we’ve also talked about here extensively. The Orange are on track to miss out on a top-100 prospect for the first time ever. But they’re also still in the running for players with those higher rankings as well for 2017.
