Syracuse, N.Y. ― Chris Bunch, a highly-rated prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, has scheduled an official visit to the Syracuse University campus for the weekend of Sept. 24-25, his father confirmed on Wednesday.
Bunch, a 6-foot-7 wing, currently attends Wasatch (Utah) Academy. He is ranked No. 72 in 247Sports.com composite ratings for the 2022 class and No. 58 in 247′s own rankings. ESPN.com has Bunch listed at No. 97 in its class rankings.
This will be the second time that Bunch has taken an official visit to Syracuse. He got a chance to see the SU campus during a visit last June. The NCAA now allows high school recruits to take five official visits during their junior year and five more in their senior year.
Bunch also holds offers from Rutgers, Washington, Creighton, Iowa State and several other schools. He visited Rutgers during the summer. He took a visit to Washington this past weekend.
He is considered an elite shooter with a lot of bounce as well. He can stretch the floor and take advantage of gaps in the defense to get to the paint.
Bunch’s visit to Syracuse will come on the same weekend as that of Peter Carey, a 6-foot-11 senior center from Northfield Mount Hermon School in Gill, Massachusetts.
Carey attended SU’s Elite Camp in late August. This is his first official visit to the SU campus.
Syracuse already has commitments from two players in the 2022 class ― Justin Taylor, a 6-6 shooting guard from Charlottesville, Virginia; and Quadir Copeland, a 6-6 guard from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Taylor and Copeland are both attending IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, this year.
Syracuse’s recruiting efforts in the ’22 class also include JJ Starling, a 6-3 guard from Baldwinsville. Starling, who currently attends La Lumiere School in LaPorte, Indiana, visited Syracuse last weekend.
Starling’s final five schools consist of SU, Duke, Notre Dame, Stanford and Northwestern. He has a visit to Duke this weekend. After that, he has said he will make a decision in October.
