The Syracuse basketball 2020-21 season came to a close last weekend when the Orange lost to Houston in the Sweet 16, and already ‘Cuse fans are clamoring to see incoming recruit Benny Williams arrive on the Hill.

The 6-foot-8 Williams, a five-star forward from the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., is rated as high as No. 15 overall in the 2021 class, according to Rivals.com.

He has an excellent all-around game and will reach Central New York in a few short months as one of the highest-rated prospects in recent Syracuse basketball history.
