Syracuse basketball is in a recruiting battle for elite 2022 wing Justin Taylor, who has numerous other scholarship offers from high-major squads such as North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Virginia Tech.
When it was disclosed that the four-star Taylor landed a UVA offer last December, and then a UNC offer this past February, that caught my attention.
Taylor, a 6-foot-6 junior at the St. Anne’s-Belfield School in Charlottesville, Va., has numerous additional impressive offers, but the Cavaliers and the Tar Heels are fellow Atlantic Coast Conference foes.
