Syracuse Basketball Welcomes Top-20 2025 Class, Ready for Season

Syracuse's football team is looking to fill offensive gaps left by departures with promising players like running back Willis and wide receiver Gill, who have shown strong performances early in their college careers. Meanwhile, Syracuse basketball is actively building its future with high-profile 2027 recruiting targets, including several four-star and five-star prospects such as Baba Oladotun and CJ Rosser, indicating a robust pipeline for the program. The men's basketball team has welcomed a revamped roster for the 2025-26 season, highlighted by six transfers including point guard Naithan George and center William Kyle III, complementing key returnees J.J. Starling and Donnie Freeman under coach Adrian Autry. New strength and conditioning coach Robert Harris, with experience at Kentucky, has joined to enhance team performance. Freshmen signees like Kiyan Anthony, son of Carmelo Anthony, and Sadiq White Jr. add significant talent and potential to the basketball roster. These moves reflect Syracuse's strategic efforts to strengthen both football and basketball programs through a blend of recruiting, transfers, and coaching staff updates.
