Freshman guard
Dion Waiters may not return to Syracuse next season, according to a report by Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com.
Syracuse coach
Jim Boeheim told Rothstein Saturday that Waiters’ return was “up in the air.”
“Sometimes change is good for everyone,” the coach added.
Waiters, who finished up at Burlington (N.J.) Life Center, averaged 6.6 points last season.
Incoming freshman guard
Michael Carter-Williams, recruited by
Mike Hopkins, could fill the void if Waiters doesn’t return.
“He’s a 6-5 point guard that does a little bit of everything,” Boeheim told Rothstein. “He’s really, really good.”
