Syracuse men’s basketball recruiting: 5-star F Kamari Lands commits to Orange for 2022

Even with all of the talk around the transfer portal right now, college basketball teams continue recruiting high school players as well. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball didn’t have anyone in their 2022 class at the start of Tuesday, but that changed when five-star forward Kamari Lands committed to the Orange.

The 6-foot-8, 195 lbs forward is a five-star recruit rated by ESPN and ranked 19th in their top 100 recruits. ESPN also ranks him as the fifth-best small forward in the class of 2022. While “only” a four-star recruit at 247sports, the site still rates Lands highly as the sixth-best small forward in the class and the 33rd ranked player overall.
