Syracuse Basketball: Orange offers elite 5-star 2022 guard Zion Cruz

The Syracuse basketball coaching staff has offered a scholarship to Zion Cruz, who is deemed one of the best players in the 2022 class.

According to a report by Mike Waters of Syracuse.com, the Orange offered a schollie to the five-star Cruz late last week while he was on the ‘Cuse campus.

The 6-foot-3 Cruz, described as either a point guard or a shooting guard depending on the recruiting service, currently attends Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City, N.J.

Per the Waters’ article, Cruz suits up on the AAU circuit for the PSA Cardinals, a crew that is based in the Bronx, N.
