Syracuse Eyeing Devin Williams for Frontcourt Depth

0:00On April 19th, Syracuse Basketball is showing strong interest in Devon Williams, a 6 foot 10 power forward center transferring from Florida, Atlantic. This red shirt sophomore from California put up solid numbers last season, averaging 7.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks over 33 games. He's a rim protector who shot over 50% from the field. Meanwhile, Williams has drawn looks from big programs like Kentucky, NC State, Clemson, USC, and Arizona, plus schools such as Seton Hall, Miami, and Stanford. According to transfer rankings, he's a 3 star prospect, sitting at number 242 overall and number 31 among centers. His background screens potential, he bought a UCLA before FAU, and dominated high school at Centennial, winning three straight championships in California. Back then, he was a 4 star recruit, ranked top 75 nationally.

1:00The transfer portal just opened on April 7th and runs through April 21st, and coach Jerry McNamara needs front court death for next season. Syracuse's roster has young guns like freshman Kean Anthony and transfers like Garway Dual, but they're light inside with just Tasman Goodrick, holding it down at power forward center. If Williams lands in Syracuse, he could lock the paint and boost that orange squad right away, keep watching this portal shake up unfold.
