Moussa Kamissoko, a five‑star forward, has committed to Syracuse University, according to a statement he gave to ESPN. The move makes him the first five‑star recruit to join the program under head coach Gerry McNamara.
Kamissoko is one of the most highly rated high‑school players in the country, earning a five‑star rating from major recruiting services. His decision to play for Syracuse marks a significant milestone for the program’s recruiting reach.
McNamara, who began his head‑coaching career at Syracuse in 2023, has yet to secure a five‑star player in his tenure. Kamissoko’s commitment therefore represents a historic first for the coach and the program.
In an interview with ESPN, Kamissoko confirmed his choice, expressing enthusiasm about joining the Orange and contributing to the team’s future success.
The signing is expected to strengthen Syracuse’s roster heading into the upcoming college basketball season, positioning the program to compete more strongly in the Big East Conference.
