Five-star prospect Moussa Kamissoko, the No. 7 overall recruit in the 2027 class according to Rivals, has committed to Syracuse, becoming the program’s highest-ranked recruit in the modern recruiting era.
It’s a huge splash for new head coach Gerry McNamara, as the Orange beat out Florida State, Illinois, Providence, and others for the 6-foot-8 small forward and Bronx native. He also received offers from UConn, Louisville, Baylor, and more.

Kamissoko talks Syracuse
In a previous interview with Rivals, Moussa discussed the Orange.
“Coach G-Mac (Gerry McNamara) talks to my people like every day. I have a great connection with all the coaches there, all the assistants, and G-Mac. They’ve been on me a lot. They always talk about how they’ll run some sets for me, like a lot of pin downs and me coming off curls and playing in the open floor. They talk about how they would want me to push it and create.”
Kamissoko a standout at the NBPA Top-100 Camp
Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw has evaluated Moussa Kamissoko multiple times in person. Here is what he had to say about him after Kamissoko stood out at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in June, averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game:
It is the production of Kamissoko that stands out immediately. While nothing he really does is loud, most of it leads to positive outcomes. Kamissoko is a lengthy 6-foot-7. He is comfortable on the ball, gaining advantages at each level, but he also brings versatility on the defensive end. He is instinctive off the ball, playing aggressively in the passing lanes, and he is a fluid athlete sliding his feet and switching down a lineup.
Kamissoko has a way of filling in the gaps for his team. He can dribble, shoot, and pass to an advantage. I liked his defensive presence in the passing lanes, and he plays with quality lateral ability and movement skills. Kamissoko attacked when necessary, and he moved the ball and got teammates involved. It was an intriguing mixture of go-to and connector, and he seemed to have no issues playing either role. Watching him through the course of a game, nothing really pops immediately with him; however, even with the shooting being his swing skill, he is simply a guy who connects the dots as he elevates the floor of a team.
