A pair of 2023 Syracuse basketball recruiting targets had strong weekends in the Nike EYBL in Kansas City last weekend and were named to All EYBL Kansas City teams. Shooting guard Reid Ducharme was named to the All EYBL Kansas City Third Team while combo guard Elijah Gertrude was named defensive MVP and to the All EYBL Kansas City First Team. 

Ducharme averaged 19.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game for BABC. Gertrude averaged 16.2 points on 50% shooting, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per game for the City Rocks.

Gertrude was offered by Syracuse a few weeks ago and has seen his recruitment take off of late. Virginia and Kansas have extended scholarship opportunities recently as well. 

Ducharme officially visited Syracuse, Xavier and Penn State in June and is looking to decide before the start of his senior season. 

"I was able to workout with the players," Ducharme said after his Syracuse visit. "I did that both days. I had meetings with academic advisors. I looked at the Faulk school, that was pretty interesting. They have an NIL class that they just started, so I like that. Had meetings with coach. We went to coach Boeheim's house for a barbecue with the pool and lawn games and the players. That was fun."

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.
