Since the 2020-21 campaign ended for Syracuse basketball, when the Orange lost in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 to Houston, I had a feeling that sophomore forward Quincy Guerrier would not return to the Hill.

However, I figured that his election to not come back would come as a result of Guerrier remaining in the 2021 NBA Draft. That still may hold true, but the recent news that Guerrier will continue to test the NBA Draft waters, but also enter into the NCAA’s transfer portal, did catch me by surprise.
