Syracuse basketball 2026 priority target Deron Rippey Jr. has scored more than 40 scholarship offers throughout his recruitment from a range of high-major programs.
But now he's down to 12 suitors.
The five-star point guard, a top-20 national prospect, has a final dozen of Syracuse basketball, Alabama, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Tennessee and Texas, his dad, Deron Rippey Sr., confirmed to me via text message on Tuesday.
I'm encouraged that the Orange made Deron Rippey Jr.'s list cut, although I'm not all that surprised. He's already unofficially visited the 'Cuse and will make a second trip to the Hill later this year.
