Syracuse basketball 4-star, 5-star targets among top performers on Nike's EYBL circuit

Syracuse basketball recruiting targets in the 2027 and 2028 classes are receiving high praise from scouts for their play last weekend, during a live period, on Nike's EYBL circuit.

The various AAU leagues, including the EYBL and the Adidas-sponsored 3SSB circuit, held sessions from May 15 to May 17, with college coaches in attendance. Per an Instagram story post around that time, Orange assistant coach Ryan Daly was on hand for the EYBL session in Memphis, Tenn.

By the way, the Nike league will conduct another spring session from May 22 to May 25, in Kansas City, Mo. It's not during an NCAA-permitted evaluation period, so college coaches won't be in attendance this weekend in Kansas City.

The scouting experts at The Circuit have doled out their awards and honors for the EYBL session in Memphis. Let's check out how 'Cuse four-star and five-star targets fared.
