Syracuse has done it again and pulled in another top 25 recruit
0:05
What's up, Phys Nation? My name is Tyler Akin. Here to break down the commitment of Sadiq White, a top 25 recruit in the class of 2025
0:14
and SU's first recruit in the class of 2025. So he's a 6'8", 180-pound power forward out of Charlotte, North Carolina
0:24
and just recently committed to Syracuse. He's picked SU over six other finalists plus a ton of other ACC schools
0:32
North Carolina schools. He picked the orange. And that is great news for SU because Syracuse had a successful class of 2024
0:41
but it was a smaller one. Just two players are headed to Syracuse coming up this next season
0:47
Donnie Freeman, obviously a top 10 recruit in the nation, as well as another highly rated prospect in Elijah Moore, a shooting guard there
0:56
Freeman, a power forward. But those are the only two players in Syracuse's 2024 recruiting class
1:02
and Syracuse is now getting a very early start on the 2025 recruiting class
1:08
White is the first player to pick Syracuse in that class, and that's a very good sign going forward
1:14
It can start a domino effect because you know who else is in the class of 2025
1:19
That's Kyan Anthony, the five-star recruit son of Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse legend. He's also a part of that class
1:27
And so getting some talent in early, maybe that could help Syracuse bring in some more talent
1:33
But this isn't just about bringing in guys like Anthony and other recruits
1:38
Sadiq White is a very, very talented player. He's 25, a five-star recruit according to 24-7's composite rankings
1:47
He's long, he's physical, he can get out in transition. He's a very physical player
1:52
That's what every single scout that has watched him play says. And if you add some collegiate development on top
1:58
he can play a little bit under Red Autry. Who knows what he could do
2:03
He certainly could maybe fill out his frame a little bit, but 6'8", 180 coming into college is nothing to sneeze at
2:09
This is a great, great sign for Syracuse basketball, and the class of 2025 is off to a solid start
