Syracuse men’s basketball: Five-star Moussa Kamissoko commits to Syracuse
Syracuse lands the top ranked player in New York State for the second time in the last three years.
Syracuse University secured a significant recruiting win on Friday by announcing the commitment of five-star forward Moussa Kamissoko from the Bronx. This marks the second five-star recruit the Orange have landed in the past ten years, with Donnie Freeman being the other recruit in 2023. Kamissoko, who recently transferred from Long Island Lutheran to Spire Academy in Ohio for his senior season, has been ranked as the consensus top recruit from New York and the seventh-best player in the 2027 class by Rivals.
Syracuse managed to outmaneuver other top-tier schools, including Florida State, Illinois, Virginia, and Providence, to secure the talented 6'8" forward. Kamissoko praised Syracuse coach Gerry McNamara, describing him as a "players' coach" with a detailed development plan. Standing at 6'11" with an impressive wingspan, Kamissoko is also an efficient scorer inside the paint and is a formidable defender who can adapt to various defensive schemes.
With Kamissoko joining three-star recruit Jack Donohue as the second commit for the 2027 high school class, Syracuse's future in men's basketball appears promising.
