Syracuse basketball boasts a 2020 recruiting class that is better than most people think.

It’s understandable when some Syracuse basketball fans lament what they perceive as a lack of top-flight recruits heading to the Hill, particularly in recent years as the Orange has suffered through a bevy of sub-par regular seasons.

The ‘Cuse likely won’t ever bring in as many elite prospects as recruiting powerhouses such as Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina, or even strong programs in the next tier, whether we’re talking about an Arizona, a Gonzaga, a Louisville or a Michigan State.
