Syracuse Basketball: 2025 five-star, four-star recruits are lights out in AAU

Multiple Syracuse basketball four-star and five-star recruiting targets in the 2025 cycle were spectacular this past weekend on the AAU circuit.

Last weekend, Nike’s EYBL league held its fourth and final regular-season session in Memphis, Tenn., prior to the annual Peach Jam tournament commencing in July.

Courtesy of the EYBL Web site, we’re taking a look at five Orange recruits in the rising-junior class who balled out at the Memphis Sports & Events Center over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Those ‘Cuse targets are four-star point guard Jerry Easter II, four-star shooting guard Kiyan Anthony, four-star wing Cam Ward, four-star forward Sadiq White and five-star point guard Tyler Jackson.
