Syracuse Basketball's recruitment of four- and five-star players for the 2025 and 2026 classes is in full swing as the various shoe-sponsored AAU circuits conduct their seasons through the spring and summer.
While these two cycle Orange Targets primarily suit Nike's EYBL league, several of the 'Cuse recruits have also competed in the Under Armor Association League and adidas 3SSB League.
By this spring, all three circuits had conducted at least one session, with more to come in the near future, culminating in season-ending playoffs across all three leagues this July. Masu.
I also think there will be some AAU sessions held during the live show soon. There, Syracuse basketball coaches and other coaching staff members from around the country can see and evaluate recruiting targets first-hand.
