Former UK target Frank Anselem commits to Syracuse

Four-star center Frank Anselem has officially chosen his new home, and it won’t be in the state of Kentucky. The big man is taking his talents to Syracuse University to play for the Orange and head coach Jim Boeheim.

The 6-foot-10, 220 pound center is currently listed as the No. 142 player in the nation, the No. 23 center and the No. 16 player in Georgia, according to 247Sports. Anselem is tabbed as a four-star recruit.

It’s been a wild recruitment for Anselem, who moved to the United States from Nigeria in 2016 and has only played basketball for five years.
