Syracuse basketball is among the schools recruiting 2027 four-star wing Markus Kerr the hardest these days. While an official scholarship offer hasn't yet been made, Inside the Loud House believes that the 6-foot-7, 185-pound Kerr, who is from Charlotte, N.C., is likely to land an offer from the new Orange staff under first-year head coach Gerry McNamara.
Other college programs to monitor in Kerr's recruitment include Baylor, Cincinnati, Florida State, Tennessee and Xavier, among others. Kerr spent this past season at the Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H.

McNamara and his assistants, in recent months, have offered numerous 2027 prospects while evaluating others, such as Kerr. There is starting to be a bit more clarity around which high school seniors have emerged as priority recruits for SU in this cycle.
