Five-star forward Moussa Kamissoko has committed to Syracuse, he told ESPN on Friday, becoming the first five-star recruit of Gerry McNamara's head coaching career and only the second five-star Orange commit in the past decade. Kamissoko chose Syracuse over Florida State, Illinois, Virginia and Oklahoma State.

"Growing up, I remember watching Syracuse, and from the moment they started recruiting me, it felt like home," Kamissoko told ESPN. "The relationship with the coaching staff, especially Coach G-Mac. That's my guy!"

A 6-foot-7 forward from New York who plays at Spire Academy (Ohio), Kamissoko is ranked No. 15 overall in the SC Next 100 and is the No. 2 power forward in the class. He averaged 16.3 points and 7.2 rebounds over 18 games on the Nike EYBL circuit this past spring and summer.

Kamissoko is Syracuse's second commit in the 2027 class, joining three-star forward Jack Donohue. He becomes the first five-star prospect to pick the Orange since Donnie Freeman in 2024.
