Highly-touted recruit McCullough gives verbal commitment to Syracuse

Brewster Academy forward Chris McCullough committed to Syracuse on Monday, he confirmed on his Twitter account.

McCullough tweeted, “Cuse Babbbbbyyyy!” on his account on Monday.


The 6-foot-10-inch McCullough is a teammate of guard Ron Patterson, who committed to the Orange on Saturday. Scout.com gave him five stars and ranked McCullough as the 13th-best prospect in the class of 2014. McCullough is a long, athletic forward who should fit well into Syracuse’s zone.



McCullough attended Salisbury School last year, where he averaged 13.9 points per game. He also had offers from Florida, Providence, Rutgers and St. John’s.

McCullough is the first player from his class to commit to Syracuse, but the fourth to commit to the program in the last month.

In addition to Patterson, the Orange has also gotten pledges from B.J. Johnson and Chinonso Obokoh for the class of 2013.
