There a lot of variables that could weigh on Syracuse basketball should Dior Johnson come to the Hill a year earlier than expected.
Last week, when word broke that 2022 five-star point guard Dior Johnson is seriously considering a reclassification to the 2021 class, my initial reaction amounted to immense joy for Syracuse basketball.
Johnson, a rising junior at powerhouse prep school Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., is one of the top players in all of high-school basketball, regardless of class. He is also the highest-rated commit for the Orange since ‘Cuse legend Carmelo Anthony guided Syracuse to the program’s sole national title in 2003.
