Four-star small forward Ralph Scott, a top-40 national prospect in the 2026 class who hails from Bermuda and currently plays high school ball in the Sunshine State, will visit Syracuse basketball next month.
Per 247Sports, the 6-foot-8 Scott will take an official visit to the ‘Cuse during the weekend that begins on October 17. Syracuse football, by the way, will host Pittsburgh at the JMA Wireless Dome the next day, on October 18.

The Orange staff offered a scholarship to Scott last month. While it was late in the 2026 cycle for Syracuse basketball to make a new offer, it does appear there is significant interest among Scott and the ‘Cuse coaching staff.
Syracuse basketball will soon host Ralph Scott on an official visit.
Scott is a senior at the powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where he plays for the program’s varsity gold team. He had terrific junior season in the 2024-25 campaign.
One of his latest offers arrived from Kansas. Scott’s full offer sheet also includes teams such as Georgia Tech, Stanford, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, Houston, UNLV, Mississippi State, LSU, Wichita State, South Florida and Georgetown, among others.
When Rivals updated its 2026 national rankings late last week, Scott vaulted from unranked and all the way up to No. 48 overall. Per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, he is No. 37 nationally, No. 17 at small forward and No. 7 in Florida within the 2026 cycle.
Scott, who used to attend Jim Boeheim’s annual summer camps as a youngster while playing for the Team Hurricane grassroots basketball program in Bermuda, is among numerous ‘Cuse targets who are visiting the Orange in the coming weeks, as the fall recruiting period picks up steam.
In late August, 2027 five-star power forward Zion Green from Philadelphia took an unofficial visit to the ‘Cuse. This past weekend, 2026 four-star shooting guard Dakari Spear officially visited Syracuse basketball.
This week, per social media posts, 2027 four-star center Theo Edema was eyeing an official visit to the Orange, although I don’t know the exact date.
During the weekend that begins on September 26, 2026 five-star point guard Deron Rippey Jr. from New York City and 2026 four-star wing/small forward Vaughn Karvala will officially visit the ‘Cuse.
On the weekend beginning October 10, 2026 four-star big man Asher Elson from New York City will take his official visit to Syracuse basketball.
Other 2026 recruits who could officially visit the Orange at some point include five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. from the Washington, D.C., area, five-star guard/small forward Alex Constanza from Florida, four-star power forward MJ Madison, who recently transferred to Prolific Prep in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and four-star center Aliou Dioum of CIA Bella Vista in Phoenix.
