Dear Syracuse basketball fans: Orange can still recruit pretty darn good

Frank Anselem and Benny Williams committing to Syracuse basketball reflect that the Orange knows how to recruit.

With the full allotment of 13 scholarship players on the Syracuse basketball roster during the 2019-20 campaign, including no seniors, the assumption all along was that the Orange would end up with a fairly small 2020 class.

Now, when the Atlantic Coast Conference’s leading scorer in 2019-20, former ‘Cuse star Elijah Hughes, elected to head to the professional ranks, along with a trio of Syracuse guards entering the transfer portal, that freed up some room for the Orange coaches to restock their line-up.
