Big Ten suitor edges past Syracuse basketball into lead for 4-star big man from NYC

Maryland has moved out in front ahead of Syracuse basketball in the recruitment of 2026 four-star big man Asher Elson, according to Rivals.

The Terrapins are No. 1 for the 6-foot-10 power forward/center from New York City, per the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine, although the Orange is not far behind. The Recruiting Prediction Machine takes into account various factors, including visits.

A few days ago, 247Sports national analyst Dushawn London reported on X that Elson will take an official visit to Maryland out of the Big Ten Conference on September 4.
