Syracuse men’s basketball recruiting update

A lot of the chatter around the Class of 2027 in basketball — and other sports — centers around how there will be fewer spots available for players with the adoption of the NCAA’s new age-based eligbility rules. The vast majority of 2026-27 college athletes will have another year of eligibility. Syracuse’s roster only has one player on it — who is currently not eligible to play — that will run out of eligibility after the season.

Thus, the 2027 class has seen some fascinating storylines already. Visit schedules for top 50-75 recruits that look more like visit schedules for top 200-250 recruits have become commonplace.

Donohue, who hails from Albany, played for NJ Shoreshots on the Under Armour circuit this summer, and will play his second season at The Newman School in Boston before coming to the Hill.

He transferred this summer from Hopkins High School in Minnesota to Bella Vista Prep in Arizona, where he’ll play for one of the nation’s top programs.

Nur has taken visits to Purdue, Minnesota and Mississippi, and has visits scheduled to Texas and Washington as well.

Syracuse is one of nine programs that Kamissoko has scheduled a visit to. The other…
