Syracuse basketball’s recruiting board picked up some shine in Las Vegas, where several Orange targets earned recognition for their play during Nike EYBL Session IV.
The awards came from The Circuit, which honored standout performers from the regular-season stop last weekend. Syracuse coaches were in attendance, along with other college staffs, as the EYBL continued its summer run before this week’s Peach Jam.
Among the prospects tied to Syracuse, Ian Condon and Moussa Kamissoko both landed on the All-EYBL Session IV second team.
Condon, a 2027 four-star power forward from Baltimore-based Team Melo in the 17U division, averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Syracuse offered him in May, and he is scheduled to take an official visit to the Orange from September 1 to September 2, Inside the Loud House has reported.
Kamissoko, a 2027 five-star wing/small forward from Bronx, N.Y.-based PSA Cardinals in the 17U division, posted 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He was first offered by Syracuse’s former staff in December 2024, and the current Orange staff is still pursuing him.
On the All-EYBL Session IV third team, Syracuse target King Gibson earned a spot after putting up 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game for Charlotte, N.C.-based Team United in the 17U division. The 2027 five-star point guard received his Syracuse offer in May.
Also on the third team was 2028 five-star wing Xavier Skipworth of Washington, D.C.-based Team Takeover in the 17U division. He averaged 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Syracuse’s former staff had offered Skipworth, and he has heard from the new Orange staff since the 2028 contact period opened on June 15.
Skipworth was also named to the All-EYBL Session IV underclass team, giving him a second honor from the Las Vegas session.
Another Syracuse target, 2027 four-star shooting guard RJ Moore of Memphis, Tenn.-based Team Thad in the 17U division, was selected to the All-EYBL Session IV breakout team. Moore averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Syracuse offered him in late April.

Syracuse Fans Are Reopening A Recruiting Wound That Never Really Healed
Syracuse fans have been revisiting an uncomfortable pattern from the past decade, and the conversation has a way of circling back to the same place. The Orange have taken swings at highly regarded recruits, only to watch injuries, fit issues or a mismatch between promise and production keep those stories from ever fully landing the way everyone hoped. Donnie Freeman, Naithan George, Chance Westry and Benny Williams all fit somewhere on that spectrum, which is why their names keep surfacing whenever fans start sorting through the programs recent recruiting history.
What makes the debate linger is that none of these cases is simple, and the article makes clear it is offering an opinion rather than a verdict on the players themselves. Westrys path has already included a transfer and a fresh start, George has moved on after one season, and Williams remains the kind of prospect whose arrival once felt like a program-changing win. Freeman, meanwhile, is the latest reminder that even the brightest recruiting gains can come with a catch, and the full impact of his Syracuse chapter still feels like a story that has not quite finished writing itself.

Boeheims Army Just Added A Name Syracuse Fans Definitely Remember
Boeheims Army has its group set for the Basketball Tournament, and the roster has a familiar Syracuse feel to it with six former Orange players mixed in with four additions from outside the program. The team will open a best-of-three series against Hall In on July 21, with Games 2 and 3 set for July 23 and 24 if needed, giving this summer run the kind of short-window urgency that has long defined the event.
The backcourt got a boost with the additions of Ty Nichols and Tyson Walker, while JaCorey Williams and Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu round out the frontcourt. For Syracuse fans, the appeal is obvious: a roster built around names they know, plus a few new pieces meant to help Boeheims Army navigate a bracket where one off night can end everything.

Syracuse Has A Receiver Fans Need To Reconsider Right Now
Elijah Moore arrived at Syracuse in January after starting his college career at Florida State, and the redshirt sophomore wide receiver is now in position to matter more than he did in his first season with the Orange. After a quiet 2025 in which he appeared in 10 games and finished with three catches for 52 yards, Moore is one of the names worth keeping in mind as Syracuse reshapes its passing game.
The timing matters because the Orange have moved on from their top receivers, opening the door for someone like Moore to climb the depth chart quickly. With a bigger role possible in the passing attack, he could become a much more visible piece of the offense and, in the right setup, a real third option in a spread look. [Read more 🡒]
