The Nike‑sponsored Peach Jam tournament on the EYBL circuit opened Tuesday, gathering some of the nation's most coveted high school basketball prospects, among them a group of Syracuse University recruits.
Live Period in Action
The five‑day showcase, taking place from July 14 through July 19 in North Augusta, South Carolina, falls within the NCAA‑permitted live period, a window when college coaches may evaluate players in competition.
Syracuse's coaching staff is expected to be on the ground scouting potential scholarship targets during the event, using the tournament as a key assessment tool.
Scouting the Talent
Teams such as the Florida Rebels, Team Melo and the PSA Cardinals will field rosters that include multiple Syracuse commitments, adding depth to the field.
Among the highlighted prospects are Carson Crawford, Ian Condon, Moussa Kamissoko, Will Brunson, Enmanuel Valera Melo, Caleb Ourigou, Devin Cleveland, Lewis Uvwo, RJ Moore, Logan Chwastyk, Rowan Phillips, Carter Smith, Liam Mitakaro, Settimo Yugu, Mason Collins, Isaiah Carter, Damian Mojica, Kevin Wheatley Jr., Malik Moore, Kingsley Rogers and Jadah Washington.
Other Circuits and Schedules
The schedules for the Adidas 3SSB league playoffs and the Under Armour Association circuit's tournament have yet to be announced, though they are slated to run from July 16 to 19 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and Louisville, Kentucky respectively.
Those events will also host many of the same recruits, giving them a final opportunity to make impressions that could affect senior‑year rankings and college choices.
With the live period now in full swing, the convergence of talent across Nike, Adidas and Under Armour platforms underscores the growing intensity of grassroots basketball and the pivotal role such showcases play in college recruitment.
