Jim Boeheim's 2012 recruiting class includes a couple of exciting young prospects who will soon be rocking the Carrier Dome rims for the Syracuse Orange.

Jerami Grant is a 6'6" forward from DeMatha High School in Maryland with explosive athleticism and a long wingspan. He'll fit in well in Syracuse's zone defense and fast-break style.

DaJuan Coleman, the McDonald's All-American hometown hero from Jamesville-DeWitt near Syracuse, has the potential to be a star center for the Orange.

But don't take my word for it. See for yourself in this video slideshow full of highlights and interviews.

Jerami Grant Gets Up to Throw Down


Highlight-reel finish

Jerami Grant can hop with the best of them; Syracuse fans are hoping they'll see plenty of similar plays  throughout his career with the Orange.

DaJuan Coleman Can Do It All


Coleman's all-around game

DaJuan Coleman has an impressive post game; he uses his powerful frame to get good position and finish strong.

The video shows some promising skills: a nice touch off the glass, finishing in traffic, monster dunks and most impressive, the smooth outside shot.

Orange fans can't wait to see him alongside Fab Melo, C.J. Fair and Rakeem Christmas.

Grant's Long-Range Skills?

Attacking the rim is definitely Jerami Grant's greatest strength. No one will confuse him with Ray Allen.

But he has shown an interest in expanding his game and being a reliable outside shooter. Here's a glimpse at his long-range shooting skills.

Coleman's entire repertoire

What's particularly impressive about this DaJuan Coleman mix is his passing ability and ball-handling.

Not only do these skills mean the future is bright for Syracuse hoops, but an NBA career might be on the horizon for Coleman.

Grant Is Unassuming and Focused


Grant stays low-key and focused

When you listen to Jerami Grant for just a few minutes, you get the feeling that he's a shy, unassuming young man who's less focused on what he's accomplished and more focused on what he wants to do in the future.

Even though he's from a high-pedigree basketball family, he seems humble and hungry.

Or maybe he's just camera-shy!
