Former Syracuse Orange men’s basketball center Mounir Hima has committed to Howard University for the 2024-25 season, becoming the sixth Syracuse player from last year’s roster to secure a spot with a new program.

By the Numbers
  • Hima played 40 games across two seasons with the Orange.
  • Hima averaged just 3.4 MPG in 13 total games in the 2023-24 season.
  • Last year, the Howard Bisons finished 18-17 overall and secured a spot in the First Four of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
State of Play
  • Most of the former Syracuse frontcourt players from last year’s team have secured commitments with other programs.
  • With the departure of Hima and most of the former Syracuse frontcourt, the team is expected to rely on new additions to soak up most of the minutes at center.
Bottom Line

Mounir Hima, former Syracuse player, commits to Howard University, adding to the team's roster turnover. The Syracuse team is expected to rely on new additions after the departure of several players, including Hima, from last year's frontcourt.
