Syracuse Bound Darius Bazley's Mission To Climb Up The Flo40 Rankings
Aug 27, 2017
From the moment Darius Bazley put on a MeanStreets (IL) jersey, he was on a mission. It became clear the goal was to prove he belongs in the conversation with some of the best prospects in the country.
Mission accomplished.
Joining the program midway through the Nike EYBL regular season, the 6-foot-9 athletic power forward with a smooth left-handed jumper was a matchup nightmare in averaging 15.4 points and 9.2 rebounds in eight games.
Bazley then turned it up another notch by posting 15 points and 13.4 rebounds in five games at Peach Jam.
No longer is the Syracuse commit on the fringe of cracking the rankings. He is securely in at No. 32 right now and appears to be focused on climbing even higher during his final season at Princeton (Ohio).
