Jesse Edwards enters transfer portal; Top 5 landing spots
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (BVM) – Jesse Edwards, a 6-foot-11 center, is the newest ACC blockbuster to hit the transfer portal after spending four seasons at Syracuse.
The Orange big man had been a major part of the team’s offensive and defensive structure throughout the end of head coach Jim Boeheim’s tenure with the program, averaging 14.5 points and 10.3 rebounds as a second-year starter this past season. Originally coming in as a three-star recruit from IMG Academy, the Netherlands native needed two seasons off the bench to fully work his way into the starting lineup.
