Syracuse basketball may be a long shot to land elite 2022 guard Zion Cruz.

Stellar 2022 guard Zion Cruz, who received a scholarship offer from Syracuse basketball in the summer of 2019, appears headed to five-star status by the bevy of main recruiting services.

The 6-foot-5 Cruz, a junior at The Patrick School in Hillside, N.J., is already a five-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite and 247Sports itself.

It’s possible he could attain five stars from ESPN. And one national writer for Rivals.
