Syracuse women’s basketball recruiting: 5-star prospect Kamilla Cardoso picks Orange

Syracuse Orange women’s basketball head coach Quentin Hillsman has picked up another elite recruit in the class of 2020.

Kamilla Cardoso, a 6-foot-6 post player has committed to the women’s basketball team, as she joins an already loaded class. Cardoso picked the Orange over the likes of big-time programs South Carolina, Mississippi State, and UConn.

According to ESPN, she is the 5th ranked player in the class of 2020 joining Priscilla Williams (ranked 11th) and Faith Blackstone (ranked 91st) as Orange commits ranked in the top 100. This is a huge pickup for Coach Q, as the only post player on the roster currently is junior Amaya Finklea.
