Buddy Boeheim, the third Class of 2018 commit, has yet to announce when he will sign his National Letter of Intent.
Bazley is a Top 10 player in the 2018 class. He first committed to Ohio State, but had a change in heart after questioning whether the Buckeye program could get him to the next level as quickly as possible. He then fell in love with the Orange and committed to Jim Boeheim’s program shortly after.
Carey, a 6-foot-3 prospect, committed to the Orange back on October 4. He chose SU over UConn in a video produced by HoopMajor on Twitter.
