Potential 2025-26 Roster

[RedtheGOB]

247 has our portal class at 21. Our HS class at 9. And a combined rank of 12.

Guaranteed we’ll be 14th in the ACC preseason rankings ha

... Potential, but very little certainty.

Right now I'd say we're many wins better than last season, but not quite a tourney team. But there's tons of time for that to change.

Concur. I remember, last season Syracuse was ranked in the top 30 transfer classes with Bell and JJ returning and Donnie Freeman coming in. I think there's definitely a bit more talent coming in, especially with the frosh, but our top transfer get is ranked 51st in some places. Most of our class ranking is based on total players coming aboard. We're bringing in 8 (possibly 9) new players (including frosh).

There is a lot of work to do.

Currently ranked 25th by Evan Miya. Michigan is #1 without Aday Mara who committed today.

Do you know where each of our guys rate on Evan Miya’s site for top transfers?

Cuse did not have a top 30 portal transfer class last season. We were #53 on 247 last season, well below some not very good programs. Right now we’re #21 on 247 and #25 on Evan Miya.

For sure. In terms of D, it looks like we're going to be lacking at the 1, 2 and 3. Hopefully the bigs can make up for that.

Overall, at the moment I think we're a bit short. I like the guys we've brought in. They're clearly an upgrade. However, we're really relying on Kiyan, Fennel and White to be meaningful contributors as frosh. Maybe they will be, but it's a risk to rely on it. And we may be a player short at the 5. I can only assume that Kyle and Sourame are going to split those minutes. Potential, but very little certainty.

Right now I'd say we're many wins better than last season, but not quite a tourney team. But there's tons of time for that to change.

I should clarify that by "short" I mean not quite a tourney team. Not physically untall!

Hopefully this leads to an ACC bounce back. We need the Quad 1 opportunities

Only 5 ACC teams on this list doesn't have me hopeful of that

Ah, I checked the 247 one but didn’t realize it was 2025.

That’s a subscriber feature and I am not one.

247 does a combined transfer/recruit class ranking. The ACC is second with 6 schools in the top 25. The SEC has 6. We are currently number 12. The Big 10 and Big East each only have 3 schools.

Clemson remaining good and a Miami/UVa resurgence gives added depth to Duke and Louisville. (Hell, maybe us)

What will our transfer portal ranking be after Deng? Surely it will be up higher.
