In this story:

Syracuse basketball will host three elite recruits for the Orange's game against Notre Dame, sources confirm. Class of 2025 prospects Matt Gilhool and Sadiq White will be in attendance, as will class of 2026 guard Deron Rippey. Here is more information on each. 

Gilhool is a 6-10 prospect who can play the four or the five. He is rated a four star prospect and ranked in the top 80 in the class of 2025 overall. He was offered by the Orange in August after a strong elite camp performance and stars for William Penn Charter in Pennsylvania. Gilhool took an official visit to Syracuse this past fall and raved about his experience. He also holds offers from Iowa, Maryland, Miami, Mississippi State, Penn State, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, Washington, Wisconsin and others. 

White is a 6-8 forward who is rated a four prospect and ranked a top 30 overall prospect. He likely projects as a power forward at the collegiate level. White took an unofficial this past fall and said afterwards the Orange would definitely get an official. That has yet to be scheduled, but contact between the two sides has been consistent. In addition to Syracuse, White holds offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Florida State, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Illinois, LSU, NC State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and others. 

Rippey is a class of 2026 point guard, rated as a four star prospect and ranked in the top 30 in his class. He plays for Blair Academy in New Jersey and is a highly coveted lead guard. In addition to Syracuse, he holds offers from Oklahoma State, St. John's, TCU, Texas A&M, Washington and others.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
