Rising sophomore Francis Folefac has committed to the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball program. He follows head coach Gerry McNamara from Siena along with teammates Gavin Doty and Tasman Goodrick.

The 6-foot-7, 245 pound Folefac played forward at Siena this past season. He’s set to join his former Team Melo AAU teammate Kiyan Anthony at Syracuse.


In his opening press conference at Syracuse, McNamara touched on how he’d turn to Folefac in late clock situations at Siena.

“I had Folefac and [Riley] Mulvey where I had two different guys that I could kind of work through late,” McNamara said. “Folefac — whether it be he could bully a guy and get to 12-feet and create a three-on-two or two-on-one. Or if it’s single coverage go on his own.”
