Syracuse women’s basketball recruitment update: the Orange land U18 Australian forward

From one promising recruit to another, the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team is off to a great start on the recruitment front.

This month, Syracuse received its second commitment for the recruiting class of 2023. The team landed Sophie Burrows, a 6-1 forward/center out of Victoria, Australia.

Burrows thrived last year for the women’s Diamond Valley Eagles. In 2022, she averaged 15.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 1.4 steals per game for the Eagles while shooting nearly 41% from three.

Burrows also has experience in international competition. She recently competed at the 2022 FIBA U18 Women’s Asian Championship Division A, where she was a strong contributor off of the bench.
