Syracuse basketball 4-star, 5-star targets score top honors from latest EYBL session
By Neil Adler
Multiple Syracuse basketball recruits have earned top honors for their performances last weekend on the AAU circuit.
This past weekend, Nike's EYBL league held its fourth spring session, this time in Kansas City, Mo. Attention will soon turn to the EYBL's season-ending annual Peach Jam event, which will take place from July 13 to July 21 in North Augusta, S.C.
In Kansas City, numerous 'Cuse four-star and five-star targets across the 2025 and 2026 classes played at a high level.
This week, the experts at The Circuit published their various awards and honors for this Kansas City session, and we're taking a look at which Orange recruits were featured. All of the prospects noted below hold scholarship offers from the 'Cuse staff and suit up in the EYBL's 17U division.
