Syracuse basketball four-star and five-star recruiting targets across multiple classes are competing this weekend at a USA Basketball junior national team minicamp that runs through Sunday in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The high school prospects will compete in skill development and scrimmages, while also participating in sessions that focus on media training, NCAA eligibility, mental health and financial management.

Deron Rippey Jr.
The five-star point guard in the 2026 class took an official visit to the Orange in late September that went well. He's got the 'Cuse in his top nine, and the 6-foot-2 Rippey plans to trim down his list to around five schools after he takes all his official visits. Rippey is a standout at the Blair Academy in Blairstown, N.J.
Isaiah Hill
The 7-foot Hill, a four-star power forward/center in the 2027 cycle, landed a Syracuse basketball scholarship offer in May. He attends Pike High School in Indianapolis. In July, Hill won a Peach Jam title with the 16U team of Indy Heat in Nike's EYBL league.
Moussa Kamissoko
Syracuse basketball offered a scholarship to the 6-foot-8 Kamissoko in late December of last year. The 2027 five-star wing/small forward plays for Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, N.Y. When Rivals recently updated its 2027 national rankings, Kamissoko moved to No. 2 overall.
CJ Rosser
