Toronto native Rokiem Green, a fast-rising guard in the 2026 class, is one of the latest high school prospects to land an offer from Syracuse basketball.
The 6-foot-3 Green, rated as a four-star player by ESPN, disclosed his scholarship offer from the Orange staff via his X page not too long ago. I want to wish Rokiem a huge congrats on picking up an offer from the 'Cuse!
Per his X page and recruiting services, beyond Syracuse basketball, Green's early scholarship offer sheet also includes schools such as Mississippi State, New Mexico State, Witchita State, Arizona State and Akron.
In the 2024-25 campaign that recently got going, Green is a junior at CIA Bella Vista in Phoenix, which is part of the 14-member Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Scholastic ("EYBL Scholastic"). The Circuit, in its preseason national top 25 ahead of the current term, had CIA Bella Vista inside the top 20 overall.
Syracuse basketball 2025 five-star commit Sadiq White Jr. of the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., and Orange 2025 four-star priority target Kiyan Anthony of Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, N.Y., also compete in the loaded EYBL Scholastic.
Syracuse basketball coaches have extended an offer to four-star guard Rokiem Green.
During the most recent AAU season, Green earned a lot of praise from national analysts and scouts for his play on Nike's EYBL circuit for the 16U team of the Phoenix-based Arizona Unity.
In the EYBL regular season that ran in April and May, Green averaged 11.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. This past July, at the EYBL's yearly Peach Jam tournament in North Augusta, S.C., Green turned things up a notch.
At this prestigious event, he averaged 15.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest in helping lead Arizona Unity to the semifinals of the Peach Jam in its 16U division. Brandon Jenkins, a national analyst and scout with 247Sports, named Green one of his top performers at Peach Jam in the 16U event.
Currently, Green isn't nationally ranked by most of the primary recruiting Web sites, however, I am confident that will change sooner rather than later. ESPN does have him as four stars, No. 32 at shooting guard and No. 11 in Arizona within the 2026 class.
The 'Cuse coaching staff has offered a handful of point guards, combo guards and shooting guards in the junior cycle, such as five-star Jordan Smith Jr., five-star Deron Rippey Jr., four-star Prince-Alexander Moody, four-star Anthony Brown, four-star Dakari Spear, four-star Neiko Mundey and Green's CIA Bella Vista/Arizona Unity teammate, four-star Miles Sadler.
