The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball center position figures to intrigue more than nearly any on the roster after Paschal Chukwu’s departure. On Friday, the Orange landed a potential replacement for the 7-foot-3 shot-blocker that helped anchor SU’s top-tier defense for two seasons.
Jesse Edwards, of the IMG Academy in Florida, has committed to Syracuse according to Syracuse.com. The currently unrated forward/center is 6-foot-11 and 215 pounds, and arrived in the U.S. to play with IMG back in January. He joins Bourama Sidibe, Marek Dolezaj, Robert Braswell and fellow 2019 commit John Bol Ajak as potential contributors in the interior.
