Just because Syracuse is arguably the best team in all of college basketball right now doesn’t mean that Jim Boeheim and his staff are just sitting back and enjoying the ride. There is no time better than right now to strike with recruits, and the ‘Cuse made a move over the weekend.

Christ the King (Middle Village, NY) sophomore guard Isaiah Lewis will visit North Carolina State in February. “It may be around the middle of the month, but I haven’t confirmed that yet,” said Lewis. “I’m looking forward to it though. I hope it’s live!”

Lewis is one of the most talented Class of 2013 players in the country, and is already mulling over interest and offers from North Carolina, Kansas, Oregon, Florida, Villanova, Florida State, Kentucky, Ohio State, Arizona, UCLA, Miami, Rutgers, Oklahoma State and Washington. MORE >

Jamesville-DeWitt (N.Y.) center DaJuan Coleman has read all of the reports about his supposed top five list of schools, but he remains baffled, since he never released an official top five.

“It’s crazy how things just get put out there,” said Coleman, a junior who is ranked 23rd in the HSH National Top 50. “I don’t have a top five.”

We caught up with Coleman to get his real list and get the scoop on how he’s been able to emerge as one of the top rebounders in the country, plus much more. MORE >

Trevor Cooney knows the Andy Rautins comparisons are inevitable. They’re about the same size, have in the gym range and are highly valued by Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim. But the Wilmington, Del., native isn’t settling for a pre-determined fate. While he admits the Rautins comparisons are flattering, the high school junior has his own goals. We caught up with him this weekend at the Boo Williams Invitational following a tough loss to E1T1 Elite (featuring Austin Rivers) to discuss his AAU team, his Syracuse future and some of his other interests.
