Syracuse basketball four-star and five-star recruiting targets in the 2026 class have seen their national rankings rise in the latest update of the top-150 prospects via 247Sports.
On Thursday, 247Sports, one of the primary recruiting services, published its most recent refresh for the high school junior cycle, and I'll focus here on those players with Orange ties.
To date, I'm aware of at least 15 prospects in the 2026 class who have received a scholarship offer from the 'Cuse staff, although Syracuse basketball coaches aren't necessarily pursuing all of these players to the same degree.

What's more, based on recent media reports and comments from analysts, the Orange staff is displaying an interest in various other high school juniors, and more offers could come along soon.
Either way, 'Cuse coaches are prioritizing a handful of top-flight 2026 prospects, some of whom have taken official or unofficial visits to the Hill, while the Orange has also made trips to check out recruits during high school open gyms.
Plus, following the current 2024-25 season in high school hoops, the AAU circuit will commence this spring and summer, and we could see more offers doled out by the Syracuse basketball staff.
