Highly touted Syracuse recruit Darius Bazley has decided to turn pro and play in the G-League next season rather than attend Syracuse. Bazley, a 5-Star 6’9” forward and ranked 9th in ESPN’s Top 100, was expected to be one of Syracuse’s best players next season.
The news was met with interesting reaction on Twitter:
