One-time Syracuse basketball target Jeenathan Williams is on fire for Buffalo.

Jeenathan Williams, a native of Rochester, N.Y., held around 20 scholarship offers from a range of high-major programs, including Syracuse basketball, as a four-star prospect in the 2018 recruiting class.

Williams, a 6-foot-5 forward, ultimately opted for fellow New York state foe Buffalo over the Orange and many other suitors. Now he and the Bulls are preparing to travel to the ‘Cuse for an in-state bout this Saturday night from the Carrier Dome, and Williams has put forth a tremendous 2020-21 campaign to date.
