Jordan Tucker took a visit to Indiana earlier in the week, and enjoyed his visit, writes SNY.tv’s very own, Adam Zagoria. Syracuse and St. John’s are among the other schools pursuing the 2017 wing. He will take a visit to Syracuse this weekend.

Zagoria also reports that Virginia is the latest school to offer Lonnie Walker, a 2017 guard. He holds offers from a large group of schools, including UConn, Syracuse, Indiana, UCLA and Ohio State.

2019 Cheshire Academy (Conn.) athlete Bryce Sebastian tweeted that he received his first college offer from Syracuse on Tuesday. His brother, Brandon, is a defensive back that is committed to Boston College.

Enjoy your Wednesdays, everyone!
