As Syracuse basketball continues to prioritize elite 2022 big men Donovan Clingan and Kyle Filipowski, the Orange is also reportedly taking a look at another talented big man in this cycle.
Per a tweet from I Know Jack Sports, Christ Essandoko says that the ‘Cuse is among the college teams that have recruited “him the hardest recently.”
Essandoko is a 7-foot power forward/center from Paris who suits up for the Winston Salem Christian School in Winston-Salem, N.C., according to his bios on several recruiting Web sites.
The 2022 big man is unranked by the primary recruiting services for now, but from what I’ve read about Essandoko, his stock is on the way up.
