International recruiting is a long, involved process for both schools and players

The Syracuse Orange football and basketball teams both look for plenty of talent outside of the United States, as does the women’s team and other sports, too. While a lot of those players can come in from English-speaking Canada (so all of it but Quebec), plenty of others come from elsewhere, too.

Over on Syracuse.com, Donna Ditota provided an extended look at the difficult process for international recruits like incoming 2019 forward Quincy Guerrier to get themselves eligible and on-campus. As she points out, it’s also easier for players from Canada and Europe than it is for those from Africa.
