Syracuse Orange

Syracuse basketball announced on Saturday that Chance Westry will be out indefinitely after suffering an injury on Thursday that "will require a procedure." No further details were provided. Westry transferred into Syracuse this offseason after spending his freshman season with Auburn. A season that was cut short due to injury. 

In 11 games at Auburn last season, Westry averaged 2.5 points, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in just over nine minutes per game. Westry ultimately took a medical redshirt after dealing with injury issues. Medical issues are cropping again, though we do not know if it is related to previous injuries. 

As a transfer, he picked the Orange over offers from Creighton, Seton Hall, St. John's and Penn State.

"Great coaching, great program," Westry said. "Obviously it was my first offer (out of high school). Just Syracuse helping me develop into a better player on the court and off the court."

Syracuse recruited Westry out of high school, where he was near consensus top 40 prospect (247Sports ranked him at 44, while ESPN, Rivals and On3 had him between 34 and 37). That previous relationship, led by associate head coach Gerry McNamara, played a pivotal role in Westry's transfer recruitment.

"He was always real and always transparent," Westry said. "I appreciated that because the bond only got stronger from both parties keeping it real with each other."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
