A Syracuse basketball 2025 signee and a 'Cuse 2026 recruiting target are two of the top players in the country's premier high school hoops league during the 2024-25 season.
According to social media posts, the All-Conference teams of the 14-member Nike Elite Youth Basketball League Scholastic ("EYBL Scholastic") have been announced.
On the first team is 2026 four-star point guard and top-30 national prospect Miles Sadler, a standout at CIA Bella Vista in Phoenix. Sadler, a top-six point guard in his class, is one of four CIA Bella Vista players who picked up scholarship offers from the Orange staff in late October of last year.
With Syracuse GM Alex Kline on hand, 4-star PG Miles Sadler (@milesadler_) went off, leading CIA @BellaVistaHoops over IMG and 4-star commit Sadiq White. Sadler received praise from top analyst @PaulBiancardi and holds a 'Cuse offer (via @DAMNTWIN). 🧡🔽 https://t.co/otTPv9Q6MR

In the conference's regular season, CIA Bella Vista finished at 9-2 and in a three-way tie for first place after going just 1-11 a stanza ago. CIA Bella Vista head coach Brandon Rosenthal, by the way, was named the EYBL Scholastic's 2024-25 coach of the year!
A Syracuse basketball commit is also receiving a top honor.
On the EYBL Scholastic All-Conference second team is 'Cuse 2025 signee Sadiq White Jr., a four-star, top-five power forward and a top-30 national prospect in his cycle. White is a senior at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., which went 7-4 during the league's regular season.

White is part of the Orange's four-member 2025 class that currently ranks No. 10 around the country, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
In the 2024-25 regular season, White averaged 12.45 points, 6.09 boards and 1.09 assists per encounter while hitting 70 percent from the field, 38 percent from downtown and 52 percent from the charity stripe.
Both IMG and CIA Bella Vista are candidates to earn invites to the eight-team Chipotle Nationals, which will take place from April 3 to April 5 in Fishers, Ind., and ultimately crown a national champion in high school basketball.
Another contender for a Chipotle Nationals bid is Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville, N.Y., which is also in the EYBL Scholastic. Long Island Lutheran's 2024-25 roster includes several 'Cuse recruiting targets as well as Syracuse basketball 2025 commit Kiyan Anthony, a four-star shooting guard and a top-30 national prospect in his cycle.
Per Instagram, Syracuse basketball 2025 4-star commits Kiyan Anthony of @LuHiBasketball and Sadiq White Jr. of @IMGABasketball have been selected for the Iverson Classic All-America game, which is on May 3 in Hampton, Va. A huge congrats to @kiyananthony and @SadiqWhite11. 🧡🧡
