Syracuse Basketball: Final Pieces for Balanced Roster

0:00On April 22nd, Syracuse basketball coaches keep building their 2026-27 roster, even after the transfer portal shut down on. Tuesday, April 21st. They just landed four-star transfer center, Luke Wilson, from Appalachian State, a red shirt sophomore who's primed to start at the 5. With 12 players locked in, including freshmen like Calvin Russell, the third and sophomore Noah Lobdow, they've got three scholarships left out of. The new 15-player limit from last summer's house settlement. That roster breaks down solid at point guard, with Junior Garwey duel from Agnistate and incoming four-star Ryan Moish, but depth is thin there. Since Moesh is just a freshman, Wings include Key and Anthony, transfers like Aiden Tobiasin from Temple, and Gavin Doty from Sienna, plus prospects Mark Marano-Mamudovic and Russell. Up front, freshmen Sadeek White Jr. at Power Forward, centers like Avdramane Sivvi from Mali and Tasman Goodrich from Sienna, rounded out.

1:00Fans are buzzing about the gaps, especially three-point shooting, which looks shaky on paper beyond Mamudovic's sniper range. Everyone hopes Anthony, Doty, and Tobiasin step up their long-range game, but riding just two-point guards feels risky and Power Forward could use. More bodies behind White and Goodrich. Coaches are targeting a back-up point guard, a perimeter bomber wing, and another four. They've reached out to transfer MRK Jones, a six-foot-six junior from Division II Goldie-Become, who had 44.7% from deep. Last season. Freshman Transfer, France's full-fact from Sienna already visited campus and could fit right in front. As the Orange Hunt these final pieces, expect Coach Jerry McNamara's staff to move fast and lock in a balance squad ready to compete.
