With Syracuse Basketball in Attendance, 4-Star and 5-Star DMV Recruits Put on Scoring Showcase
Syracuse basketball’s presence was felt courtside as some of the top high school talent from the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) region delivered a thrilling scoring display over the weekend. Coaches and scouts from the Orange were on hand to evaluate several 4-star and 5-star recruits, and the young prospects didn’t disappoint.
The showcase, which featured elite competition and national scouts, quickly turned into a highlight reel. Among the standouts was 5-star guard Malik Thomas, who poured in 28 points with a mix of deep three-pointers and explosive finishes at the rim. His court vision and ability to create off the dribble had coaches murmuring with interest — and Syracuse was reportedly among those impressed.
4-star wing Jordan Robinson also made a strong impression, finishing with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Known for his two-way game, Robinson showed growth in his offensive arsenal, knocking down mid-range jumpers and playing through contact in the paint. With Syracuse in need of versatile wings in future recruiting classes, Robinson could become a key target.
What stood out most was the energy and intensity from the recruits who were well aware of the scouts in the building. Every possession was treated like a proving ground, with players looking to solidify offers or catch the eye of a major program like Syracuse.
The Orange have long prioritized the DMV area, known for producing high-level collegiate talent, and their continued visibility at these events signals a clear intent to remain competitive on the national recruiting stage. With multiple prospects showing high ceilings and strong performances, Syracuse’s coaching staff may be inching closer to securing their next breakout star from th
e region.
