Syracuse basketball will have a zoom meeting with the top big in the transfer portal, Hunter Dickinson, on Wednesday according to Marty Mush, college basketball insider for Barstool Sports. Mush also reported that Dickinson is expected to visit Georgetown and Maryland this weekend. Dickinson is transferring from Michigan, where he was a star for the last three years, averaging 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game over that span while shooting 57.0% from the floor an 36.0% from three point range. This past season, he averaged 18.5 points, a career high 9.0 rebounds, a career high 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 56.0% overall and a career high 42.1% from beyond the arc. Kentucky is another school reported to be interested in the 7-1, 260 pounder.

The news comes just one day after Jesse Edwards entered the transfer portal after electing not to return to the Orange. Syracuse is also reportedly hosting North Texas big Abou Ousmane for an official visit next week, according to Adam Zagoria.

Syracuse has already landed a high profile transfer in guard JJ Starling from Notre Dame. Can the Orange do it again by adding Dickinson to fill the void left by Edwards? Syracuse has a starting spot to offer and has connections to him stemming from new assistant Brenden Straughn’s recruiting ties. The key will be to get him on campus for a visit.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
