Buffalo transfer guard Dyaisha Fair, one of the top scorers in the country over the last three seasons, has committed to her former coach Felisha Legette-Jack and Syracuse women's basketball. Fair will join the Orange for the 2022-23 campaign. Due to the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fair has two years of eligibility remaining. 

Fair, a 5-5 guard out of Edison Tech in Rochester (NY), has spent the last three seasons playing for Legette-Jack with the Bulls. She averaged 23.4 points last season, 24.1 points the year before and 22.0 points as a true freshman. She also averaged 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game last season while shooting 36.8% from three point range. 

According to Fair's Instagram page, she also visited defending National Champion South Carolina and (per a now deleted Instagram story) Baylor. She was named MAC Freshman of the Year following the 2019-20 season. She was All MAC First Team each of the last two seasons, and All MAC Defensive Team for the 2021-22 campaign. 

Fair joins transfers Olivia Owens (forward, Kentucky), Kyra Wood (forward, Temple), Saniia Wilson (forward, Buffalo) and Georgia Woolley (guard, Buffalo) as incoming Syracuse players.

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.
