Syracuse Basketball: Orange appears out of contention for 4-star big man

Syracuse basketball, at this juncture, doesn’t appear to be a significant contender for 2024 four-star center Patrick Ngongba II, who hails from the Washington, D.C., area and is one of the fastest-rising prospects nationwide in his class.

The 6-foot-10 Ngongba was offered a scholarship by the Orange coaching staff in late April, around the time of NCAA live periods on the AAU circuit. Ngongba, not long after he received a ‘Cuse offer, said in at least one interview that he wanted to visit the Hill.

However, over the past two months, Ngongba has gone on some official visits to other schools, and he may take additional campus visits, according to recent interviews that he’s given with national recruiting analysts.
