Four-star point guard Ryan Moesch has flipped his commitment from Siena to Syracuse, he announced on social media Tuesday. Moesch is the Orange’s third and highest-ranked commitment in their 2026 class thus far, joining Slovenian wing Mark Morano Mahmutovič and two-sport star Calvin Russell III in the group.
Moesch spent his first three years of high school at Chittenango High School (New York), where he racked up 1,686 points and led the state with 36.3 points per game in his junior year. Across those three years, he averaged 23.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists. He also scored a career-high 55 points against Jamesville-DeWitt in his junior year before moving to Cushing Academy (Massachusetts) for his senior season.
Originally, Moesch committed to Siena and then-head coach Gerry McNamara, making his decision in September. He instantly became the Saints’ highest-ranked recruit in program history.
But when McNamara took the job at Syracuse following Adrian Autry’s firing, Moesch reopened his recruitment, leading to his decision to join the Orange on Tuesday.
“I really trust Coach GMac,” Moesch told The Daily Orange of his relationship with McNamara in December. “No other coaches tried as hard to get me. The vision is me running the offense and me being the guy.”
Moesch isn’t the only member of McNamara’s former Siena crew to follow the coach to his alma mater. Siena’s leading scorer Gavin Doty (18 points per game) and forward Tasman Goodrick both transferred to the Orange last week.
Syracuse also plucked Temple’s Aiden Tobiason and McNeese State’s Garwey Dual out of the portal, both of whom pack a scoring punch. Moesch is SU’s sixth overall addition in the offseason, as it looks to rebound from a 15-17 campaign in Autry’s final year at the helm.
