Syracuse Basketball: Orange offers scholarship to 2021 4-star big man (itlh.com; Adler)
The Syracuse basketball squad remains busy on the recruiting front, extending a scholarship offer to 2021 center Micawber Etienne.
The Syracuse basketball program, which has doled out scholarship offers to a handful of high-school players in recent days, continues to stay active with its recruiting efforts.
The latest offer goes out to Micawber “Mac” Etienne, a four-star center in the class of 2021, who announced this news via his Twitter page.
The 6-foot-10 Etienne is a rising junior who currently attends the Suffield Academy in Suffield, Conn., a team that seems to consistently perform quite well throughout the New England area, according to the Suffield Academy Web site.
At this juncture, Etienne is thought of as a top-90 guy across the country in the 2021 class, according to the bevy of primary recruiting services. For one, 247Sports presently slots him at No. 74 overall, while at https://n./content/prospects/2021/micawber-etienne-236175, Etienne is rated No. 77.
I don’t usually put a lot of emphasis on these subjective rankings, however, securing the services of Etienne, who clearly has a strong low-post skill-set, would prove an awesome get for the ‘Cuse.
In reviewing Etienne’s Twitter account, as well as various recruiting Web sites, it appears that he possesses numerous offers at this time, from groups such as Bryant, Big East Conference member Marquette, Massachusetts, fellow Atlantic Coast Conference foe Pittsburgh, and VCU.

The site’s Brian Snow says that his “upside is through the roof,” and that he has the length and athleticism allows him to rebound well and guard multiple positions. Like so many elite athletes, shooting is an area that can use some development.
