Buffalo transfer guard Dyaisha Fair, one of the top scorers in the country over the last three seasons, has committed to her former coach Felisha Legette-Jack and Syracuse women's basketball. Fair will join the Orange for the 2022-23 campaign. Due to the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fair has two years of eligibility remaining. 

Fair, a 5-5 guard out of Edison Tech in Rochester (NY), has spent the last three seasons playing for Legette-Jack with the Bulls. She averaged 23.4 points last season, 24.1 points the year before and 22.0 points as a true freshman. She also averaged 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game last season while shooting 36.8% from three point range. 

According to Fair's Instagram page, she also visited defending National Champion South Carolina and (per a now deleted Instagram story) Baylor. She was named MAC Freshman of the Year following the 2019-20 season. She was All MAC First Team each of the last two seasons, and All MAC Defensive Team for the 2021-22 campaign. 

Fair joins transfers Olivia Owens (forward, Kentucky), Kyra Wood (forward, Temple), Saniia Wilson (forward, Buffalo) and Georgia Woolley (guard, Buffalo) as incoming Syracuse players.
