Syracuse Basketball: 4-stars, 5-stars who 'Cuse may watch in fall recruiting period

Later this month, the fall recruiting period will commence, enabling Syracuse basketball coaches and their peers around the country to watch recruits during open gyms at their respective high schools.

For the Orange, the 'Cuse coaching staff has already secured one verbal pledge in the 2025 class while continuing to heavily pursue various other top-flight targets. In 2026, Syracuse basketball has offered a variety of prospects.

Moving to 2027, I'm aware of at least two rising sophomores who have picked up scholarship offers from the Orange. By extension, across all of these cycles, 'Cuse coaches could be showing an interest in other high school players, with offers still to come.

For one, in late August, Syracuse basketball coaches held their annual Elite Camp on the Hill, with prospects in multiple classes competing in front of Orange coaches.

In any event, with fall recruiting nearly here, I'm taking a look below at Syracuse basketball recruits who may see the Orange staff visit them at upcoming open gyms. Per this NCAA recruiting calendar, the fall period starts on September 4.

Syracuse basketball may watch these four-star and five-star prospects at open gyms soon.

2025 Class

Sadiq White Jr.
The five-star, top-20 national prospect verbally committed to the 'Cuse in late May of this year. White will spend his senior year at the powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He has unofficially visited the Orange twice, and I anticipate that White will take an official visit to Syracuse basketball during his senior season.

Kiyan Anthony
The four-star shooting guard and top-30 national prospect is a rising senior at Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, N.Y. Anthony has the 'Cuse in his top six. He took an official visit to the program in late October of last year and has said he's likely to visit Syracuse basketball again.

Acaden Lewis
A four-star guard and top-40 overall player in his class, Lewis stars for the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. He has the Orange in his top eight and unofficially visited 'Cuse on August 1. Based on what I've been told, Lewis is also likely to take an official visit to Syracuse basketball at some point.
