Here is an article about the highest scoring high school players ever:

there are only five players who have averaged that much, seven if you round it off. None ever played for Syracuse, (and their rate of success at the next level is not encouraging).

The highest scoring recruit I’ve heard of since I started following SU basketball in the mid 60’s was Hal Cohen. This article says he averaged 35 points per game:

Again, his collegiate performance was nowhere near that: [URL="http://www.orangehoops.org/HCohen.htm"]Hal Cohen[/URL]

This article says that Jim Brown averaged 38ppg in high school and I remember reading that in his autobiography:

Ernie Davis was a Parade All-American in basketball but I haven’t read that his scoring average was as high as Jim’s:
