Rutgers made the top 3 for 4-star hoops prospect Chris Bunch but unfortunately couldn’t close the door.

Bunch announced his decision to commit to Syracuse on Thursday evening on CBS Sports HQ and explained that getting the chance to play for Jim Boeheim was too good to pass up.

“Playing for a legendary coach in Coach Boeheim will give me the opportunity to listen, learn, and get better.”

Bunch is a 4-star prospect and is the No. 3 player in Utah and the No. 19 small forward overall per 247Sports Composite. He’s also the No. 72 overall recruit for the country, regardless of position.

Before announcing his commitment, he had interest from a lot of other Power 5 schools outside his top 3, including Creighton, Florida State, Iowa State, Maryland, and Oklahoma.

Currently, Syracuse has the No. 14 recruiting class in the country and the No. 4 class in the ACC.
