I have to admit that when word broke that Syracuse basketball redshirt freshman center John Bol Ajak would come back to the Hill, it pleasantly surprised me.

Ajak had entered his name into the NCAA’s transfer portal, but according to Mike Waters of Syracuse.com, the Orange big man is returning to the ‘Cuse.

This is a positive development, in my humble opinion. Yes, it does now appear that the Orange next season will have four centers on its roster, assuming that freshman Frank Anselem does, indeed, stay with the team.
