Well, the team is losing starters William Kyle III and JJ Starling to graduation, so that immediately puts them two players down. Furthermore, starting guard Naithan George has entered the transfer portal, as have three additional players, including sharpshooter Tyler Betsey. That means that Syracuse is at least six players down from the 2025-26 group, and there are questions about if Nate Kingz can return, and if Donnie Freeman will return.
