Syracuse Orange Courts Top 2027 Recruit Moussa Kamissoko on Official Visit

The Orange’s aggressive recruiting push includes multiple five‑star prospects as they aim to bolster the 2027 roster.

Moussa Kamissoko, a five‑star wing‑small forward in the 2027 class, is set to arrive on campus on September 3‑4 for an official visit, marking the latest stop on a tour that will also take him to Florida State, Virginia and Oklahoma State.

The Orange have been courting Kamissoko since December 2024, when former head coach Adrian Autry extended a scholarship before the staff transition, and the recruit’s nine official visits currently include a strong lead from Rivals, which projects a 41 % likelihood of a commitment.

In Nike’s EYBL circuit he has posted averages of 16.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists, shooting 51.2 % from the field and 35.3 % from three‑point range, numbers that have helped elevate his national ranking into the top‑20 of his class.

Other Priority Targets

Among the other prospects on Syracuse’s radar are Nasir Anderson, a five‑star point guard from Georgia, Ian Condon, a four‑star wing‑forward from the DMV, Ahmed Nur, a four‑star wing‑forward from Minnesota, J’Lon Lyons, a four‑star point guard from the DMV, and Devin Cleveland, a four‑star guard from Chicago.

Anderson is expected to make an official trip in the coming weeks, while Condon will be on campus from September 1‑2 and Lyons from September 11‑13; Nur already completed his visit from August 28‑30, and Cleveland, who has already set a series of official visits, aims to see all seven of his finalists before signing.

The Orange coaching staff is working diligently to lock in Anderson’s visit, viewing it as a pivotal step in shaping a 2027 class that could reshape the program’s depth and future performance.

The only player currently committed to Syracuse for the 2027 cycle is three‑star wing Jack Donohue, who toured the campus unofficially in June and is slated to return for another visit later this year.

Together, these recruits illustrate a coordinated effort by Syracuse to leverage its historic brand while competing against powerhouse programs, a strategy that could pay dividends when the next generation of talent arrives on the Carrier Dome floor.
