Syracuse, N.Y. -- Oshae Brissett and Howard Washington, prep teammates in Canada, will soon become official Syracuse basketball teammates and classmates.
The fifth-year players from Athlete Institute in Mono, Ontario, are expected to enroll at SU for Maymester classes, coach Chris Cobbina said today in a phone conversation. Both players have already graduated from high school and have achieved qualifying standardized test scores that will enable them to play as college basketball freshmen.
"From an administrative standpoint, we've reached out to their school and said they're going to essentially be withdrawing from school to start college," Cobbina said.
