I believe that he is the fourth CA prospect that Syracuse has offered the recruiting cycle. He seems to be friends with the other kids that were offered. Maybe the staff is following in the footsteps of Duke and are actively recruiting California.

Didn't both Bullough adn Lea coach at UCLA? Is there something there? I know that McDonald had recruited Cali a bit.
