Overview
- Moussa Kamissoko, a nationally ranked five-star prospect, announced his commitment to Syracuse on Friday, September 25, 2026, after a recruiting visit to the school in early September.
- Kamissoko is a Bronx native who will spend his senior season at SPIRE Academy in Ohio and is listed around 6-foot-7 to 6-foot-8 and about 180 pounds.
- On the Nike EYBL he averaged roughly 16.3 points and 7.2 rebounds with better-than-35 percent 3-point shooting and he posted strong numbers at Peach Jam and the NBPA Top 100 camp, figures that underpin his five-star status.
- He chose Syracuse over a long list of suitors whose finalists included Florida State, Virginia, Illinois, Oklahoma State, BYU, Baylor and UConn while also holding offers from schools such as Kentucky, Alabama and Louisville.
- The commitment is framed as McNamara’s marquee early win and only Syracuse’s second five-star in the past decade after Donnie Freeman, though some outlets note a minor reporting discrepancy about whether this is the program’s first or second 2027 pledge because of an earlier commitment from Jack Donohue.
