Syracuse Basketball: Top AAU performances this weekend by 4-star, 5-star recruits
By Neil Adler
This weekend, the shoe-sponsored AAU circuits have conducted sessions around the country, including some season-ending playoffs, amid an NCAA live period where the Syracuse basketball staff has watched various recruits.
Across these different AAU leagues, Orange four-star and five-star targets in the 2025, 2026 and 2027 classes have put forth strong performances, which we're going to highlight here.
Just for context, this is where the AAU circuits have resided this weekend. The annual Peach Jam tournament of Nike's EYBL league is in North Augusta, S.C.
The Adidas 3SSB league is in Rock Hill, S.C. The Under Armour Association ("UAA") circuit is in the Atlanta region, while the the PUMA-sponsored PRO16 league is in the Phoenix area.

By the way, all of the high school prospects I'm noting in this column either possess a scholarship offer from the Orange or hold interest from the 'Cuse staff. Statistics come via AAU league Web sites or social media posts.
