Some of the nation's top basketball players are headed to Syracuse University next fall but before then, they are making their mark on the high school circuit. Head Coach Quentin Hillsman signed the No. 4 recruiting class in the country in November and four of the Orange's five signees, Kamilla Cardoso, Priscilla Williams, Faith Blackstone and Khamya McNeal, have been nominated for the McDonald's All-America game.
