Syracuse basketball recruiting: SU reportedly offers 4-star forward Hameir Wright

Syracuse has offered Class of 2017, four-star forward Hameir Wright, per Scout.com.

The Albany (New York) Academy product is listed as a small forward on Scout and a power forward on ESPN.com. He is listed at 6-foot-8, 205 pounds by multiple recruiting sites.

Wright holds offers from defending-champion Villanova, George Washington, Cincinnati and Dayton. He is ranked 59th in ESPN’s Class of 2017 top 60 and is graded an 87 by the site. Recruiting sites list him between the No. 3 and No. 5 player in the state of New York for his class.

The Orange currently does not have any verbal commitments in the 2017 class and has offered three other forwards in the 2017 class: Jordan Tucker, Kevin Knox and Mohamed Bamba.

Villanova has had a strong presence at Wright’s recent games, per Scout.
