Australian shooting guard Luke Fennell has committed to Syracuse men’s basketball, according to 247Sports. Standing at 6-foot-6, Fennell is a class of 2025 prospect and currently plays for South East Melbourne Phoenix in Australia’s National Basketball League.
Prior to joining Australia’s NBL as a development player for the 2024-25 season, he pushed Australia’s Under-20 game to a gold medal in the Albert Schweitzer Games in Germany. He also participated in Australia’s NBA Global Academy.
He hasn’t yet been on campus at SU but has reportedly built a connection with the staff already.
“Syracuse was really friendly,” Fennell told Syracuse.com. “The whole staff reached out to me. I heard from them every day. They gave me all the information I needed to be comfortable. They did a great job of making me feel welcome.”
Fennell’s commitment marks the second international prospect to commit to the Orange in as many years. Six-foot-nine Serbian prospect Petar Majstorovic joined Syracuse for the 2024-25 season. Fennell is the third commit in the 2025 class, joining Sadiq White and Aaron Womack.
