Over the next two months, Syracuse basketball recruiting enthusiasts will have a chance to watch 'Cuse commits and targets play games on ESPN television and streaming broadcasts, which is fun.
Not too long ago, a press release from ESPN detailed 31 contests in high school hoops that will air on various ESPN channels throughout the 2024-25 season.
Some of those encounters have already occurred, but the majority of them are coming up soon, with numerous Orange recruiting connections.
I perused the upcoming schedule. A trio of teams for 'Cuse fans to monitor is Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, N.Y., the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., and CIA Bella Vista in Phoenix. All three of them are members of the nation's premier high school hoops conference, the 14-squad Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Scholastic ("EYBL Scholastic").
Long Island Lutheran's roster includes Syracuse basketball 2025 commit Kiyan Anthony, a four-star shooting guard, and 2027 four-star wing/forward Moussa Kamissoko, who was offered a scholarship by the Orange in late December.
A standout senior at IMG is 'Cuse 2025 signee Sadiq White Jr., a five-star forward. Over at CIA Bella Vista, in late October, four players with this group received Syracuse basketball offers. They are 2026 four-star point guard Miles Sadler, 2027 five-star big man Paul Osaruyi, 2026 four-star guard Rokiem Green and 2026 four-star center Aliou Dioum.
