Marcus Adams Schedules Syracuse Official Visit

The Orange will host an elite recruit this weekend.

Syracuse basketball recruiting target Marcus Adams has scheduled an official visit January 29th , he tells AllSyracuse.com. It was moved up from a previously scheduled date of February 18th. That means he will be in attendance for Syracuse’s big Monday game against Virginia on the 30th. When he gets to campus, he knows exactly what he will be looking for in order to determine if Syracuse is the right fit.

"How the coaches are in person," Adams said. "The environment, the team, how they practice and how they play. Those are all the basics that you need." 

The offer from the Orange came last month. Adams has been in constant communication with the Orange staff ever since.

"It's been coach Boeheim, really," Adams said. "I've spoken to one of the assistants and coach Boeheim three times. It's really just like 'hey how are you doing' and looking at stuff. How I can be used in the program and stuff like that. All the stuff a coach usually talks to you about. I've been talking to the assistant about setting up an official to go there. It should be by the end of the month."

The 6-8 prospect has the ability to be in the 2023 or 2024 recruiting class. Which is Syracuse recruiting him for?

"I think both," Adams said. "I don't know what I'm going to do yet but they're looking at me for both." 

At this point in his recruitment, Syracuse has Adams' attention.

"Big interest," Adams said. "They are going to be in my top five or top seven when I announce, but definitely really big interest. They've been showing a lot of interest in me, which I like. Definitely big interest."

UCLA, USC, Oregon, Texas and Ole Miss are among the other schools coming at Adams hard right now. He says whichever school needs him the most and gives him the best chance to get to the NBA will be more important than location.
