Syracuse basketball has offered at least 13 prospects in 2028; where they're ranked

Syracuse basketball targets in the 2028 class are highly ranked, according to the latest update from ESPN and ratings from other recruiting services.

I'm aware of at least 13 high school sophomores who have picked up a scholarship offer from the Orange staff. I was sitting on a dozen offers, however, I came across one from late September that I had previously missed.

That offer went to 2028 four-star forward Nash Avery, who noted it via his X page. The 6-foot-8 Avery attends Archbishop Spalding High School in Severn, Md.
