Syracuse basketball continues to pursue 2022 five-star guard Zion Cruz, but the Orange faces a tall task to win this recruiting bout.

Syracuse basketball got in relatively early with Zion Cruz, a top-25 player nationally in the 2022 cycle, which is encouraging. However, one recruiting expert says that he thinks Cruz will ultimately head to a blue-blood program.

Jake Weingarten, the founder of Stockrisers.com, recently held a Q&A session where recruiting enthusiasts, myself included, got to ask him a range of questions.

One person asked Weingarten about Cruz and the possibility of him choosing former Big East Conference rival Connecticut (yuck).
