To date, I haven’t seen any predictions from national analysts and other recruiting insiders as it pertains to the future collegiate home of Syracuse basketball high-priority target J.J. Starling.

That being said, some comments from recruiting experts in recent months have suggested that teams including the Orange, Duke and Stanford could be in a solid position with the Central New York native, a 2022 four-star combo guard.

As we detailed in a recent column, the 6-foot-3 guard has scheduled multiple officials in September. Starling has already been to Notre Dame, and after that are trips to the Hill, Northwestern and Duke.
