4 Syracuse signees to play in Jordan Brand Classic at Barclays Center

Syracuse fans will get a look at all four of the Orange’s Class of 2015 signees in the Jordan Brand Classic at the Barclays Center on April 17.

The event’s website released the official East and West rosters for the All-American game on Tuesday, and five-star SU signee Malachi Richardson will play on the East team. Richardson will also be the first SU signee since 2012 to play in the McDonald’s All-American game.

Scout.com’s Evan Daniels reported the rosters for the Jordan Brand Classic regional game, which includes four-star forwards Tyler Lydon and Moustapha Diagne and four-star guard Franklin Howard. Daniels reported that Howard will be on the home team and Lydon and Diagne on the away team.

In the All-American game, Richardson will play on the same team as four-star center Thomas Bryant. Bryant — who’s from Rochester, New York, but now plays at Huntington (West Virginia) Prep — has offers from Syracuse, Kansas, Indiana and Kentucky, according to Scout.

It’s unclear how Bryant could fit into SU’s roster, which as of now has no scholarships to offer, but there is still reportedly mutual interest between him and the program.
