No inside knowledge, but anytime a player gets an offer from his hometown team, that team has a very good chance to land the player, especially if he still has family in the area. He went (at least until 2018) to a high school in the City of Syracuse, and presumably grew up watching SU, and likely went to some games. If his mother still lives in Syracuse, I have a hard time believing Tallahassee State is going to be the choice.

I don't think he'd start next year. I don't think he's going to be Embiid. However, he looks more coordinated, more athletic, and stronger than just about any center recruit we've had since Fab & Rakeem. 7'0 250 lb muscular kids from Syracuse don't come around every year, I would take a flyer on him. Worst case he's a better version of Craig Forth / Brian Zoubek and can take up space in the zone, get rebounds, block shots, and catch and dunk. Best case he's as good as Fab Melo's 2012 season by the time he's a junior/senior.
