Syracuse basketball recruiting targets have advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Peach Jam, and the Orange staff is expected to be on hand once again on Saturday and then Sunday amid the final live period of the summer.
The annual Peach Jam, held in North Augusta, S.C., is the season-ending playoffs on Nike's EYBL circuit. Most of SU's recruits in the 2027 and 2028 classes suit up in the EYBL. The Adidas 3SSB league is holding its season-ending tournament in Rock Hill, S.C., while the Under Armour Association ("UAA") circuit is in Louisville, Ky.
Syracuse basketball targets are vying for Peach Jam crowns.
In the Peach Jam 16U and 17U divisions, the quarterfinals and semifinals are taking place on Saturday, with the championship games on Sunday, which is the end of the NCAA-permitted evaluation period.
