Syracuse University's men's basketball program has seen significant player movement with the addition of transfer recruits and the departure of a former player. Jyare Davis from Delaware and Dakota Leffew from Mount St. Mary's, have committed to Syracuse. Davis, a second-team All-CAA selection, averaged 17.1 points and 7.5 rebounds last season and was recognized for his performance against Villanova in the 2022 NCAA tournament. Concurrently, former Syracuse forward Benny Williams, dismissed from the program, has committed to Central Florida. Williams, who is part of the Class of 2026, had a brief stint committed to Louisville before choosing UCF.
