SNY.tv’s very own, Adam Zagoria, writes that 2016 big man Taurean Thompson will visit Michigan State in the near future, and then will make his college decision. He is down to the Spartans, Syracuse and Seton Hall. “I gotta go on another visit and then I’ll commit right after,” he said.

Zagoria also reports that Syracuse is the team working hardest for 2017 wing Jordan Tucker. Maryland and Villanova are two other schools actively pursuing him.
