Syracuse basketball 4-star recruits make big moves, up and down, in new 2025 rankings

Recruiting service and media outlet On3 recently updated its national rankings for the top-150 prospects in the 2025 class, with various Syracuse basketball four-star targets seeing their ratings significantly climb or fall.

At this juncture, the Orange has one commitment in its 2025 cycle. In late May, elite forward Sadiq White Jr. verbally committed to the 'Cuse. He is a four-star prospect, according to On3.

At the time of this writing, the industry-generated 247Sports Composite had White as five stars, while he's inside the top-20 nationally, per 247Sports.
