Syracuse five-star verbal commitment Chris McCullough was kicked out of Brewster (N.H.) Academy for a violation of school rules, Brewster head coach Jason Smith confirmed via email.

“I was notified this morning by our Dean of Students that Chris was dismissed for a violation of school rules,” Smith told The Daily Orange.

McCullough announced his commitment to Syracuse on Nov. 5, 2012. The 6-foot-9 power forward is the No. 3 power forward in the Class of 2014 on Scout.com, and the No. 16 overall prospect on ESPN.

He was expected to sign his letter of intent this week during the NCAA’s early signing period.

As a man you have to take responsibility for your actions I am accountable for mine. Minor set back I'll be good!
