Out in Las Vegas in recent days, Syracuse basketball recruiting targets Kiyan Anthony from New York City and Tyler Jackson from Baltimore played quite well, including in games broadcast on national television.
The 6-foot-3 Jackson, a 2025 five-star point guard offered a scholarship by the Orange coaching staff in late April, earned a lot of high praise from national analysts and scouts for his performances with the 17U squad of the Baltimore-based Team Thrill in the Under Armour Association league (“UAA”).
Jackson, who has said he’s likely to take an official visit to the Hill at some point in the near future, displayed his scoring prowess, playmaking and facilitating for others, and his strong defensive instincts in helping lead Team Thrill to a title at the Sportradar Showdown in Henderson, Nev.
