Less than 24 hours after releasing his initial list of schools, 2017 5-star Michael Porter Jr. received an offer from the Syracuse Orange. He announced the news via Twitter.
The offer comes as no surprise. His interest, however, has a unique twist. Three weeks ago, Porter Jr. hadn't heard from Syracuse, or showed any interest in the Orange. While particpating at the 5th annual Mary Kline Classic in May, Porter Jr. and 2016 commit Matthew Moyer bonded. That bond eventually led to a phone call from Michael to Syracuse Orange assistant coach Gerry McNamara, who reassured SU's interest.
