Syracuse Orange

On the same day that Syracuse landed the biggest prize in the transfer portal to date in Notre Dame transfer guard JJ Starling, the Orange lost one of its guards to the portal as well. Reserve guard Symir Torrence has entered the portal as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. 

The 6-3 point guard signed with Marquette out of high school and spent his first years there, appearing in 52 games. He elected to transfer out of that program and landed with his hometown Syracuse Orange, a school that had recruited him out of high school. 

He also spent two seasons at SU, appearing in 61 games during that time with one start. This past season his playing time dwindled as the year progressed, and the likelihood he would see significant playing time in 2023-24 was minimal at best. 

During his four years of college ball thus far, Torrence averaged 2.3 points, 1.9 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 12 minutes per game. He shot 39.8% from the floor overall, 26.7% from beyond the arc and 65.6% from the free throw line. This past season he shot a career high 45.1% from the field and 83.3% from the charity stripe.

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.
