Naheem McLeod Sets Commitment Date
In This Story:
Florida State transfer center Naheem McLeod will announce his commitment on Tuesday, May 16th, he said in a Twitter post. McLeod officially visited Syracuse basketball recently, and has not taken any other visits. He was supposed to visit Mississippi State this past week, but did not take the trip after the Bulldogs picked up a different transfer big.
"The visit was good," McLeod said. "Got a chance to meet a lot of the guys. The coaching staff welcomed me with open arms. Talked to me about their vision for me at Syracuse. I already knew a couple of the guys coming in, so I'm not playing with anybody I don't know or whose game I'm not familiar with. So it's going to be fun if I go there."
The message from the Syracuse coaches during the visit was simple. That he could be the missing piece they need.
"The goal is to come in, work right away, be that dominant piece in the middle," McLeod said. "They have exceptional guards coming in, like Chance Westry and JJ Starling. Those guys are high level players. They also have guys that are still there now like Benny Williams and everybody else. I think our athleticism and the speed that Syracuse wants to play at would be right for me."
