Syracuse Basketball: 5-star big man, No. 2 prospect, confirms SU interest

Five-star power forward Derik Queen from Baltimore, one of the best players across the country in the 2024 class, detailed in a recent interview that he has interest from Syracuse basketball.

I hadn’t previously seen a lot of mentions regarding the Orange coaching staff being involved with the 6-foot-8 Queen, so I was glad to see the ‘Cuse noted in his recent interview with Pro Insight.

Queen, who runs on the AAU circuit with the Baltimore-based Team Thrill, suited up in his freshman season for the Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore.

He put up some really impressive numbers as a freshman and won all kinds of national accolades.
