Damarius Owens Includes Syracuse in Final Three Schools
In This Story:
Class of 2024 forward Damarius Owens has trimmed his list to three schools, according to a report from On3. Owens, a 6-8 forward who plays at Western Reserve Academy in Ohio but is a Rochester (NY) native, is down to Marquette, Syracuse and Virginia Tech. He is also expected to make a final decision this month, and confirmed the news with All Syracuse. Owens took an official visit to Syracuse in October and Marquette in January.
“The visit was great,” Owens said after visiting the Orange. “They showed me around campus and I met with all of the coaches and players. I also got to watch a practice and see how those guys worked. One of the best parts was the football game. The community and atmosphere was great. Everyone made me feel like I was family and showed me a great time.
“One thing I took away from the practice was how hard they played and how effective setting good screens can be. The coaches and the staff were always locked in and helping out the players. I also like how they dedicate time to player development during their practice.”
During the visit, Owens spent a lot of time with the Syracuse coaches.
“The coaches talked about how they’ve had success with guys like me that can play/guard multiple positions. They showed me film on some of their former players and some of my film from this summer. It allowed me to see how I’d fit in the program.”
Syracuse already has one commitment in the 2024 class in elite sharpshooting guard Elijah Moore.
