Syracuse Basketball: 5-star PG target making strong case for No. 1 ranking

Syracuse basketball 2025 recruiting target Tyler Jackson from Baltimore had himself some kind of weekend on the AAU circuit.

The 6-foot-3 Jackson, ranked five stars, top 10 nationally and the No. 1 point guard across the country per ESPN, led the Nike EYBL league’s 16U division in scoring over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, as the EYBL held its fourth and final regular-season session at the Memphis Sports & Events Center in Memphis, Tenn.

In late April, Jackson was a key contributor for the Baltimore-based Team Thrill, as that top-flight AAU program won the 16U spring championship in the Under Armour Association league.
