BUILDING BACK: Basketball Guide 2025

Syracuse basketball is just days away. Last season, both the men's and women's squads missed the NCAA Tournament. Now, each side has reloaded its roster with top-tier freshmen and transfers.

On the men's side, SU reeled in top-35 prospects Sadiq White and Kiyan Anthony, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony, and six transfers to pair with returners J.J. Starling and Donnie Freeman.

For the women's team, head coach Felisha Legette-Jack saw most of her top scoring options depart but retained second-leading scorer Sophie Burrows. Of many newcomers, Texas transfer Laila Phelia and four-star freshman Camdyn Nelson can produce alongside her.
