Syracuse Basketball Recruiting: Orange Get Visit From Turkish 7-Footer Omer Yurtseven

Mike Waters of Syracuse.com has reported Turkish prospect Omer Yurtseven visited the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center this week and apparently has interest in the Orange. Yurtseven is a seven-foot center in the 2016 class who could be a huge get for Syracuse as they look to potentially add another big man for next season.

The Orange have been targeted big men for 2016 but have yet to land one. Mali's Cheickna Dembele committed to UNLV recently, while the team still awaits a decision from 6-10 forward Taurean Thompson. The Jersey City (N.J.) prospect just visited the Orange last weekend, but also received an offer from Michigan State of late.
