Syracuse Basketball: As 4-star PG Keyshuan Tillery shines in AAU, watch for SU visit

Keyshuan Tillery, a 2025 four-star point guard from Albany, N.Y., who holds a Syracuse basketball offer, has caught the attention of numerous national analysts and scouts this spring on the AAU circuit.

The 6-foot-1 Tillery is one of the standouts for the 17U team of the Albany City Rocks in Nike’s EYBL league. Through the first three sessions on the EYBL circuit, he has proven one of the league leaders in assists per game.

In late August of last year, Tillery went on an unofficial visit to the Hill to compete in the Orange's annual Elite Camp. It was around that time that the 'Cuse staff offered him a scholarship.

He has said in past interviews that he'd like to visit Syracuse basketball again, and while I haven't seen anything finalized, I'd keep an eye out for Tillery to potentially take an official visit to the Orange at some point in the future.

While he holds a variety of high-major offers at this juncture in his recruiting process, I've come across a handful of comments from analysts that suggest Tillery remains high on the 'Cuse.

Syracuse basketball seems to be pursuing several 2025 four-star point guards these days.

Tillery is a rising senior at the New Hampton School in New Hampton, N.H., and one of the stars of that program. His full offer sheet, besides the Orange, includes college squads such as Rutgers, Northwestern, Albany, UMBC, Georgia Tech, North Carolina A&T, Hampton, Bryant, Temple, Washington, Wyoming, UMass and St. Bonaventure.

He has officially visited Northwestern, and I get the sense that Tillery plans to take more official visits before making a commitment announcement. He told On3 national analyst/scout Jamie Shaw back in January that the 'Cuse was among the schools that he hears from regularly.

Last weekend was a live period on the AAU circuits, with college coaches checking out high school prospects in person. The EYBL held a session in Indianapolis, and reports suggested that Syracuse basketball head coach Adrian Autry was on hand for at least one City Rocks contest.

Also suiting up for the City Rocks in the 17U division this spring and summer is 2026 four-star wing Imahri Wooten, who holds a 'Cuse offer and took an unofficial visit to Central New York last October.

Amid the evaluation period this past weekend, Tillery averaged 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, six assists and one steal per encounter. The Circuit named him to its All-EYBL Session III third team.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Keyshuan remains vastly underrated in the 2025 class. ESPN has him as four stars, while other recruiting services place him as three stars. Tillery is deemed a top-200 national prospect and a top-25 point guard by multiple recruiting Web sites.

Within the 2025 cycle, Syracuse basketball coaches continue to pursue several other four-star point guards/combo guards, including Tyler Jackson from Baltimore, who officially visited the Orange in late January of this year, and Acaden Lewis from Washington, D.C., who was offered by the 'Cuse about a month ago and plans to visit Syracuse basketball soon.
