Syracuse basketball extended a scholarship offer to 2022 power forward Kyle Filipowski on Wednesday. AllSyracuse.com spoke with Wilbraham and Monson Academy head coach Mike Mannix to find out more about the player, how the offer went down and where Syracuse stands in his recruitment.
Q: Give us a scouting report of Kyle Filipowski.
"I start with his versatility," Mannix said. "His versatility at his size, you just aren't going to find a lot of. He's a legitimate 6-foot-10. He rebounds what seems like almost every ball. He can handle it, he can shoot it, he can post up. He was darn close to being a 40 percent three point shooter this year. Averaged 21 points a game, 13 rebounds a game. His field goal percentage is really, really high. You just get it all when you have him as a player. This year I think he was one of the hardest working guys on the team. He really kind of set the tone for us. He was certainly in the mix every night as a guy that wasn't going to get outworked. Really coachable.
