A handful of Syracuse basketball targets suit up for nationally rated squads.

The current prep-school basketball season is kicking into high gear as best that it can amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, and several Syracuse basketball prospects are competing for highly rated teams nationwide.

The latest top 25 from MaxPreps features the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., at No. 2 overall. Jarace Walker, a 2022 five-star forward whom the Orange offered last summer, suits up for the IMG Academy, a squad that some analysts believe is a significant contender to win this season’s high-school national title.
