Second-year head coach Felisha Legette-Jack and the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team received a commitment from Shy Hawkins, a four-star prospect from the class of 2024 recruitment cycle.
Hawkins, a six-foot wing entering her senior year at Long Island Lutheran High School, is currently Syracuse’s top 2024 commitment. She currently ranks 72nd overall on ESPNW’s top-100 prospects list; out of that current list, she is the fourth-best player in New York State and the tenth-best wing prospect in the nation.
