Syracuse Basketball: Recruit Darius Adams jumps into top 20, eyes 5 stars

Darius Adams, who received a scholarship offer from Syracuse basketball nearly a year ago, has proven a big stock riser this spring and summer due to his strong play on the AAU circuit.

The 6-foot-3 combo guard, a consensus four-star, top-50 national prospect in the 2025 class, finds himself within the top 25 overall, according to several recruiting services. However, he’s pushed inside the top 20 overall, per recently updated 2025 national ratings from MADE Hoops.

That recruiting Web site now has Adams at No. 17 across the country in the rising-junior cycle, an increase of 10 placements, according to MADE Hoops scouting analyst Max Feldman.
