This Syracuse commit first caught our attention back in November 2025 at the Philly HS Challenge with his ability to impact every facet of a game. His extraordinary versatility was on display again versus EA. James, scored a goal, dished out an assist, caused a slew of turnovers and ate up ground balls. James is a super athletic pole with speed and an active stick. He pursued EA ball carriers all over the field and did an extraordinary job of keeping pressure on their hands. His powerful stick checks and nifty pokes but the ball on the ground frequently. James also was a transition force in this contest as he pushed the ball up the field multiple times to create opportunities for the Panthers.
