Syracuse basketball 2026 priority target Dakari Spear from Texas is down to five schools. The Orange is on the list.

I expected the 'Cuse to make the cut here. Throughout his recruiting process, the four-star shooting guard has been recruited hard by Syracuse basketball coaches, the 6-foot-4 Spear has said in interviews. I've also been told that by a source in recent months.

Spear is among a handful of rising seniors who are the Orange's top targets in 2026. Some have included the 'Cuse in their recent list cuts, while others are setting up official visits to the Hill and other college campuses.
