[I]You won't find Cheickna Dembele's name on many recruiting lists.

But college coaches are finding the 6-foot-10 center who just arrived in the United States last fall from Mali.

In its search for frontcourt help, Syracuse has taken an interest in the fast-rising 2016 prospect at Scotland Performance Institute in Chambersburg, Pa.

Scotland coach Jareem Dowling said SU assistant Gerry McNamara is expected to attend Sunday's game between Scotland and Edison (N.J.) Prep. Dowling said he also expected to have coaches from Providence, North Carolina State, Temple, Cincinnati and St. Joseph's at Sunday's game.

"The word is getting out on him,'' Dowling said Thursday night. "But we're not forcing the issue. He's been here less than six months. We're going to be very methodical with the recruiting process.''

Dowling said Dembele has already received scholarship offers from Iowa State, Missouri, North Carolina State, St. Joseph's, Charlotte and LaSalle.

The list of schools that are now expressing interest is even longer and includes Syracuse, Providence, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Iowa, Georgetown, Connecticut, Temple, Alabama, LSU, Penn State, Florida and Arizona State...[/I]
