Ex-Syracuse basketball recruit, Darius Bazley, may once again shock the hoops world and hurt his 2019 NBA Draft stock in the process.
Bazley, a five-star recruit that was initially headed to play for Jim Boeheim five months ago, gave Orange fans across the country a rude awakening on back on March 30. That was when the dominant forward from Princeton High School decided to de-commit from Syracuse and make the jump straight to the G-League instead.
This past weekend, Bazley joined more than 60 high-end college and high school prospects at the Nike Academy, an upper-echelon training program that features many talented unsigned competitors, and the 6-foot-9 forward once again made major headlines.
