Syracuse Basketball: 4-star big in top 70 and latest rankings for key 4-star targets

Syracuse basketball continues to aggressively pursue various 2025 four-star prospects.

The Orange has at least one verbal pledge to date in the high school senior class, and more commitments could potentially be on the way in the coming months.

Lately, the 'Cuse staff has hosted several 2025 recruits on visits and made the list cuts of a few targets in this cycle.

What's more, on Wednesday, the fall recruiting period began. That means we could see Orange coaches out and about checking in on 2025 recruiting targets, whether during open gyms at their respective high schools or making in-home visits.
