Kamissoko plays at Long Island Lutheran High School, the same program that produced current Syracuse guard Kiyan Anthony.

The recruiting services are high on him, too. He is ranked 20th in the 2027 class by 247Sports.com and 18th by ESPN.com.

He also turned heads at the NBPA Top 100 camp in June, where he averaged 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Syracuse already has one commitment in the 2027 class. Jack Donohue, a 6-8 sharp-shooting forward, announced his decision earlier this month.

Syracuse Practice Just Raised A New Question About The Orange Offense

With Week 3 training camp rolling on and the Orange drawing plenty of eyes from alumni, donors and national media, Syracuse spent its third practice sharpening the shape of an offense that will soon matter a lot more. The opener against New Hampshire is coming on Sept. 5, and even in August, the questions around how this unit will function are starting to feel more immediate.

The running back group has already taken a hit with Yasin Willis gone, which leaves Ahmad Miller and Ju'Juan Johnson positioned to handle much of the load. Quarterback is still the bigger mystery, though, and Zaid Lott remains a name to watch even with veteran options ahead of him in the room. For an offense trying to find its footing before the season begins, those decisions could end up defining how Syracuse looks once the games count. [Read more 🡒]

Syracuse Wide Receiver Battle Just Took An Unexpected Turn

Fall camp is starting to sort out Syracuses depth chart, and the wide receiver room has become one of the more interesting spots to watch as the season opener approaches. Tyshawn Russell, Umari Hatcher and Julian McFadden have all put together strong showings in practice, giving the Orange some needed competition and energy as the offense continues to settle in. On the other side of the ball, defensive lineman Tunmise Adeleye has also been one of the more noticeable standouts, a reminder that several positions are still being shaped by what happens on the practice field.

The receiver group, though, has taken a hit with Terrell Wilfong sidelined by a collarbone injury, thinning the options just as the battles are getting sharper. Syracuse also got a boost when Justus Ross-Simmons returned to practice after conversations with the coaching staff, and that adds another layer to how Fran Brown can approach the room in the days ahead. With fall camp moving forward, the Orange still have decisions to make and more moving pieces than theyd probably prefer this close to kickoff. [Read more 🡒]

Jamie Tremble Gives Syracuse One Of Camps Most Intriguing Decisions

Jamie Tremble has spent much of his Syracuse career as the sort of player coaches can file under wherever we need him, and that flexibility has made him one of the more interesting pieces of camp. The junior linebacker has already worn a few different hats in college, having played both tight end and defensive end, and this fall the expectation is that hell spend more time on defense while still popping up on offense in select situations.

For Syracuse, the appeal is obvious: a player willing to move around and absorb whatever role the staff hands him can create options on both sides of the ball. Tremble has taken that approach in stride, working with the defensive coaches and leaning on veteran players as he settles into his latest assignment, leaving the Orange with a versatile weapon and a choice that still feels worth watching.
