Jack Donohue Commits to Syracuse | College Basketball News

Syracuse basketball just snagged its first 2027 commitment with sharpshooter Jack Donohue, a 6-foot-8 wing from Albany recovering from open-heart surgery. His new coach at Newman School, Justin Perron, sees huge upside in the three-star prospect, who’s working hard to be a key contributor this season after missing last year’s action. Perron’s program thrives on winning — last year they went 38-3 and claimed a national prep title — and Donohue fits that culture perfectly: tough defender, rebounder, selfless teammate. The connection to Syracuse runs deep, dating back to Gerry McNamara’s time at Siena, who originally offered him a scholarship. Donohue officially picked Syracuse over other offers on August 3rd, calling it an “awesome opportunity” — especially since Syracuse is his hometown team in the ACC. Analysts believe he could’ve been a four-star if not for his health setback, but his grit and relationship with the staff make him a perfect fit. Expect Syracuse to keep tabs closely as the recruiting cycle heats up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
