Florida State big-man transfer Naheem McLeod, who committed to Syracuse basketball on Monday afternoon, said in an interview that the entire Orange coaching staff has forged a strong relationship with him of late.

Once McLeod, a 7-foot-4 sophomore center who hails from Philadelphia, entered the NCAA’s transfer portal, he reportedly heard from a bunch of teams. The ‘Cuse was one of the first schools to reach out to him.

Two weekends ago, McLeod took an official visit to the Hill, and it was the only official visit that he made while in the transfer portal.
