What's the latest with Syracuse women's basketball's 2027 class?
To date, the Orange has one verbal pledge in its high school senior cycle. Late last month, 2027 point guard Josephine Pinnock from New York City verbally committed to the Orange over Seton Hall, Hofstra and Stony Brook.
The 5-foot-10 Pinnock, as a junior at Christ the King High School in Middle Village, N.Y., averaged 19.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. She was named the New York State Catholic High School Athletic Association ("CHSAA") AAA player of the year.
Last month, Pinnock took an official visit to the 'Cuse. She also unofficially visited Syracuse in July, around the time that Pinnock picked up a scholarship offer from the Orange staff. Read more here about what top New York-based analyst and scout Zach Smart had to say about Pinnock.
Syracuse women's basketball is also recruiting Kaleena Smith, the nation's No. 1 senior and a five-star point guard in the 2027 class. The 5-foot-6 Smith took an official visit to the Orange this past February.
In late September, SU head coach Felisha Legette-Jack conducted an in-home visit with Smith, as first reported by Inside the Loud House. Smith is an All-American at the powerhouse Ontario Christian School in Ontario, Calif., near Los Angeles.
