Syracuse adds 6-foot-11 ex-Duquesne big man Mounir Hima
By ADAM ZAGORIA
After losing big man Frank Anselem to Georgia, Syracuse added ex-Duquesne big man Mounir Hima.
The 6-foot-11 native of Niger averaged 1.9 points and 2.8 rebounds as a freshman at Duquesne. He played at St. Benedict’s Prep (NJ), which also produced Syracuse big man Bourama Sidibe.
After a great visit and great conversations with Coach Boeheim, Coach G-Max, Coach Reid and the rest of staff. I am excited to announce that I will be committing to Syracuse University. Thank you to my family, coaches, friends and everyone that has been helping in any way. pic.twitter.com/g14raPlrJU
