Syracuse Basketball: Heading into Peach Jam, 4-star targets among EYBL stat leaders

Nike's EYBL circuit, this past weekend, wrapped up its Kansas City, Mo., session, with various Syracuse basketball four-star and five-star recruits in the 2025 and 2026 classes earning high marks from national analysts and scouts for their performances.

To date this spring, the EYBL has now conducted four sessions, and what remains is this league's season-ending tournament at the annual Peach Jam, which this year will take place from July 13 to July 21 in North Augusta, S.C.

As I'm sure many Orange fans remember, Syracuse basketball 2024 five-star commit Donnie Freeman, a summer ago, captured the 17U Peach Jam crown while starring for the Washington, D.C.-based Team Takeover.

As attention will soon turn to this summer's Peach Jam, I'm tracking various 'Cuse targets who at this juncture are among the league leaders on the EYBL circuit in different statistical categories.
