Syracuse Basketball: 4-star recruits put on a show at All-American Camp

Syracuse basketball four-star targets in the 2024 and 2025 classes were among the top performers at a recent high-school hoops showcase, according to recruiting analysts and scouts.

From June 4 to June 6 at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, 120 of the top high-school players nationwide competed at the 21st-annual Pangos All-American Camp.

The participants suited up in games before numerous NBA scouts, and they also received individual instruction and skills workouts at the prestigious 2023 Pangos All-American Camp.

Three Orange recruits were at this event and played at a high level, experts say. Those ‘Cuse targets were 2024 four-star guard Jalil Bethea, 2024 four-star point guard Mikey Lewis and 2025 four-star guard Darius Adams.

The analysts and scouts at The Circuit published a recent piece where they handed out awards for the top performers at the 2023 Pangos All-American Camp. The 6-foot-4 Bethea, the 6-foot-3 Lewis and the 6-foot-3 Adams were all honored by The Circuit.

Bethea was named to the All-Event second team. Per The Circuit, he averaged 14.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

Lewis received inclusion on the All-Event third squad after averaging 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.

Adams was named to the All-Event third team as well as the All-Underclass group. He averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per encounter.

Bethea, a long-time priority recruit of the Syracuse basketball coaching staff, has put forth a stellar spring in grassroots basketball starring for the 17U squad of the Philadelphia-based Team Final in Nike’s EYBL league.

He is an All-American junior at Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in Warminster, Pa. The Orange offered Bethea in September of 2022, and he took an official visit to the Hill the following month.

Lewis, a fast-rising prospect in the 2024 class, picked up a ‘Cuse scholarship offer in late April. He, too, has been excellent this spring on the AAU circuit, where he runs with the 17U unit of the Oakland, Calif.-based Oakland Soldiers in Nike’s EYBL league.

A junior at Accelerated Prep in Lakewood, Colo., Lewis has said that he wants to visit the Orange at some point.

As a sophomore All-American in the 2022-23 campaign, Adams helped lead Manasquan High School in Manasquan, N.J., to the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (“NJSIAA”) Group 2 tournament championship.

He has played well this spring in grassroots basketball for the 16U team of the Bronx, N.Y.-based PSA Cardinals in Nike’s EYBL league. Adams landed a scholarship offer from Syracuse basketball in late August of 2022, when he attended the Orange’s annual Elite Camp.
