Gertrude is currently a three-star prospect and ranked 138th overall in his class by 247 Sports, and also holds offers from Kansas, Pitt, Rutgers and Seton Hall, among others. The Hudson (NJ) Catholic prospect said of the visit that Virginia “felt like a family.” Still, Syracuse remains involved, and “they feel like I can be long in the zone, get a couple steals, get a couple dunks.” He added that he will try to take a trip to Syracuse during the school year. Zagoria also caught up with another Syracuse target, 2023 guard Elijah Gertrude, who is coming off an official visit to Virginia this weekend. Syracuse was the first school to offer Estrella after he attended their Elite Camp. He previously visited Marquette and Tennessee. “I got to hang out with some of the players and all of the coaches. “The Iowa visit was good,” he said Sunday to ZagsBlog’s Adam Zagoria.

“Jim Boeheim has been a legendary coach for so long and (Gerry McNamara) as well. The Wolfeboro (NH) Brewster Academy four-star prospect said the three schools recruiting him hardest are Syracuse, Xavier and Penn State. Syracuse has been long pursuing 2023 shooting guard Reid Ducharme, and he caught up with 247 Sports’ Dushawn London about his top three schools. The four-star point guard is ranked 134th in his class, and holds offers from Clemson, LSU, Maryland, Houston, Illinois and DePaul, among others. Starting with basketball, Syracuse extended an offer to 2023 point guard Mike Williams from Calvert (MD) Hall College.
