This may be the Syracuse basketball offseason, but the coaching staff is never really off. Here's a look at some of the offers SU has handed out in the last week in our first roundup of May.
Tyler Jackson, a 2025 6-foot-2 Baltimore native, had a breakout sophomore year. He's a natural scorer with an adeptness for changing speeds and can score at all three levels. Jackson spoke about his Syracuse offer with our Charles Kang.
2024 guard Mikey Lewis is a Rivals four-star athlete and the No. 69 overall recruit in his year. Lewis is coming off a Nike EYBL Session where he was named offensive MVP after averaging 25.2 ppg on 53.8 percent shooting from downtown, 4.5 rpg and 3.2 apg.

The Rivals five-star prospect and the No. 4 overall recruit in his class, he holds over two dozen offers, including from Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio State, St. John's, West Virginia and Michigan. He's been described by Rivals as "the best guard in the sophomore class and will physically be ready for college a year from now."

He holds over 20 offers, with Maryland, Michigan, Villanova, Miami, Notre Dame, Virginia, South Florida, Ole Miss among his suitors.
