Syracuse basketball players are confident that they can return the program to its former glory, and the first step in doing so is getting the Orange back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021.
"We can make history. We can build something great here," senior shooting guard J.J. Starling said at the team's recent media day, when asked about what his pitch was to transfers who were considering a move to the Hill.
The Orange's 2025-26 roster includes two key returnees, a six-member transfer class and a five-member prep class with three four-star prospects.
