Boeheim’s Army on Tuesday announced a roster commitment for the second consecutive day, and it manifests in the form of the tallest Syracuse Orange men’s basketball player in program history (thus far).
Paschal Chukwu became the fifth commitment to this year’s edition of Boeheim’s Army and third Syracuse basketball alum to join the roster.
Chukwu, a seven-foot-two center, averaged 4.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game across 111 total games with the Orange, 68 of which he started. Memorably peaking in the 2017-2018 season, where he averaged 2.7 blocks per game in 37 games, Chukwu served as the defensive anchor for a Syracuse team which went 23-14 overall and was a part of former Coach Jim Boeheim’s second-to-last run to the Sweet 16.
