Dajuan Coleman was born and raised in the salt city.
He was born in October of 1992 here in Syracuse and went to Jamesville-DeWitt high school. After a wildly successful amateur career earning the Mr. New York Basketball Award in 2012 and was a top-10 recruit in the country he was ready for the big time.
Despite all the prominent offers around the country, Coleman decided to stay at home and play for the Syracuse basketball squad and Jim Boeheim.
While things didn’t play out exactly the way Coleman had probably planned in his head, he still had a very respectable Orange career.
