There’s plenty of time left in Ruffin’s recruitment, and he said he doesn’t have any favorites for the time being. But he’s certainly got Syracuse on his mind as his recruitment moves forward.
“Cuse is somewhere I could see myself play for sure, great people and a great environment,” Ruffin said. “Just excited to see what the future has in store.”
