Syracuse Basketball Recruiting: 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 Targets and Projected Scholarships

In a very confusing time for Syracuse basketball, we map out all of the current offers, scholarship scenarios and more.

With the recent scholarship reductions handed down by the NCAA, it can be very confusing for Syracuse fans to understand what is going on. The Orange are allowed a total of 10 scholarships, instead of 13, for the next four seasons, according to the NCAA.

The Syracuse Orange coaching staff has decided to begin the scholarship reductions beginning in the 2016-17 season after Paschal Chukwu's commitment.

**The projections are based on the current scholarship reductions and assuming no current players leaves unexpectedly. The number of scholarships available could increase if SU's appeal is successful.**
