A new international league, called ATLAS, has begun its 2026-27 season, and Syracuse basketball 2027 commit Moussa Kamissoko had a monster game on Thursday in leading his team to a big-time win.
The 6-foot-8, 180-pound Kamissoko, a five-star wing/small forward who is the No. 9 national prospect in the high school senior class per Rivals, posted a double-double as his program, the Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio, easily defeated another excellent team, the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., by a final score of 90-63.
In Spire's victory over IMG, Kamissoko tallied 13 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, one turnover, one steal and two blocks. The Bronx, N.Y., native verbally committed to the Orange in late September. Here's an in-depth scouting report from experts about Kamissoko.
For IMG, 2028 five-star small forward Will Brunson, who holds a scholarship offer from the 'Cuse, had 11 points, two rebounds, one assist and one turnover. Earlier this month, Syracuse basketball offered one of Kamissoko's teammates at Spire, 2028 four-star center Miguel Sousa. He didn't play against IMG.
In late October, MaxPreps published its preseason national top 10 of independent programs and basketball academies that don't compete for state-affiliated titles. Spire is No. 5, IMG is No. 6 and another ATLAS member, Prolific Prep in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is No. 2.

In the past, teams such as Spire, Sunrise, IMG and Orangeville Prep suited up in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Scholastic ("EYBL Scholastic"), which will have 15 members in 2026-27. All the schools in the EYBL Scholastic these days are sponsored by Nike. Some of these programs in ATLAS are sponsored by other shoe and apparel companies.
The 2026-27 regular season at ATLAS will feature games in North America and Europe from November until February, with the playoffs taking place next March in Toronto. Kamissoko's head coach at Spire, the legendary Kevin Boyle, is serving as the new league's chief basketball officer.
"Atlas is building what I believe is the first truly elite international youth basketball league, bringing together top programs from North America and Europe," Boyle said in a press release when ATLAS announced its launch last month.
Spire has an absolutely loaded 2026-27 roster and will compete for a high school national title this season, experts have told Inside the Loud House. Kamissoko may not score a ton of points, but he will have a huge impact on his team. I expect Kamissoko to contend for McDonald's All-America honors as a senior.
