Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim discussed former signee Darius Bazley for the first time since the prospect surprised the college basketball world last week, broaching the subject of his former recruit during an interview with ESPN's Mike Golic and Trey Wingo on Monday morning.
In choosing to pass over Syracuse in favor of developing in the G-League, Bazley said he hopes to be a trend-setter for recruits who believe the G-League offers a better developmental opportunity.
Boeheim wished Bazley well twice during his comments on the 18-year-old, but said that he still believes college basketball is the best place to develop and that Bazley will be an outlier rather than a trend-setter.
