Syracuse Basketball: Where Kiyan Anthony, 4-star recruits arrive in new 2025 rankings

In recent days, recruiting service and media outlet ESPN revealed its updated national rankings for the top-100 prospects in the 2025 class, and numerous Syracuse basketball four-star targets find themselves highly placed.

According to recruiting Web sites and social media posts, to date, the Orange coaching staff has offered scholarships to around 20 players in the high school junior cycle.

However, some of those offered by the 'Cuse are no longer considering the Orange, while Syracuse basketball coaches aren't heavily recruiting others.

As such, as far as I can tell, the 'Cuse coaching staff is prioritizing a handful of 2025 targets, based on these prospects having taken visits to the Hill, including Syracuse basketball in their list cuts, or other factors.

Full disclosure, though: the Orange staff may not be prioritizing all of those 2025 players listed below, and 'Cuse coaches could also be in pursuit of some high school juniors who didn't make the ESPN 100.

For one, Syracuse basketball recently offered a scholarship to 2025 big man Asher Elson out of South Shore High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., who for now is not nationally ranked by ESPN but is a fast-rising prospect, experts have told me.

Here are updated ESPN rankings for various Syracuse basketball 2025 four-star recruits.
