you have probably been catching some of the hype around the newest five-star recruits. Some of them are Chaz Guerrier, Derrick Randall, Quincy Ballard and Reid Ducharme. But who is Guerrier? Will he be able to make an impact for the Orange? Read on to learn more. Also, read up on the other Syracuse Basketball 5star recruits currently out in Baltimore.
Reid Ducharme
The 2023 class of shooting guard, Reid Ducharme, has an offer from Syracuse basketball. Ducharme has been a standout in AAU play this season, averaging nearly 16 points per game and grabbing four rebounds. He has also earned multiple offers from other schools, including Florida and Kentucky. He had a great summer, with several of them visiting him during an August Elite Camp.
Chaz Guerrier
The Syracuse basketball team is excited about the fast-rising prospect, who averaged 13.7 points per game this season while shooting 49.3 percent from the field. The 6-foot-7, 220-pound guard is a quick study, but also a team leader. In a recent workout with the Canadian men’s national team, Guerrier looked much larger than his future teammates.
Derrick Randall
Derrick Randall, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward, has received multiple offers from Syracuse, Louisville, and other power programs. He has played eight minutes a game last year as a sophomore for Rutgers. The 6-foot-8 forward would have two years left to play at Syracuse, but he could probably play immediately if he had an NBA contract. He is a tough defender and a good rebounder. He is visiting campus this weekend.
Quincy Ballard
The Syracuse basketball program was looking to add a veteran center to the rotation after starting Jesse Edwards last season but decided to go elsewhere. The rising third-year sophomore is transferring from Florida State, which he previously attended. The transfer from Henninger High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, went on to play at Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Royce White
Royce White, a 6-8 forward out of Baltimore, is a 5-star prospect and a fast riser. While he only played eight minutes per game last season as a sophomore for Rutgers, he received a number of offers from top programs including Syracuse, Louisville, and Kansas. While he’ll likely have two years left at Rutgers, he’s more of a defensive player, defender, and rebounder. Despite his recent rise, he’s already a top prospect in the area and has visits scheduled this weekend.

Daquein McNeil
When his mother passed away, her sister Conica became his legal guardian. After the death of her father, McNeil dropped out of school and began hanging out with gangs. Two months later, his mother died of lupus. The tragedy turned his life around when he found basketball and rediscovered his focus. He transferred to Vermont Academy, where he was a three-year starter and averaged 19 points per game as a senior. As a sophomore, he averaged 18.8 points per game and played a small role for the team.
