Since first-year head coach Gerry McNamara was hired to take the helm at his alma mater, the new Syracuse basketball coaching staff has offered a range of rising high school seniors, while evaluating others.
In the list below, all these 2027 players hold a scholarship offer or some level of interest from 'Cuse coaches. Naturally, there could be other rising seniors out there who are being pursued by the Orange staff, so this list isn't likely to be fully comprehensive.
