1. Joe Cruz Visits Syracuse

Syracuse OL commit Joe Cruz visited Syracuse over the weekend and attended the Wake Forest game. The visit went very well, and he was impressed by the Dome atmosphere. He is solidly committed. 

2. Chad Schuster Visits Syracuse

Just like Cruz, Chad Schuster, another Syracuse OL commit, also visited for the Wake Forest game. Schuster was also impressed by the Dome atmosphere and remains a solid commit. Both Cruz and Schuster are on board with the direction of the program. 

3. Maliq Brown Set to Release Top 5

Syracuse basketball target Maliq Brown is going to release his top five on Monday. It would be an extreme shock if Syracuse did not make the cut. Syracuse is still considered the favorite here. Brown took an official visit recently and raved about his experience. There are schools trying to get involved and get visits, including Georgetown, Miami and others. The Orange is situated well as of now. 

4. LeQuint Allen Having Monster Season

Another weekend, another big day for Syracuse running back commit LeQuint Allen. In a 50-0 win, Allen had 221 yards rushing on eight carries with two touchdowns. That is a robust 27.6 yards per carry. This after racking up 304 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards and six total touchdowns just a few weeks ago. Allen is proving to be a steal for Syracuse and underrated by most recruiting services. 

5. Still Nothing New on JJ Starling

Still no chatter on the JJ Starling situation. He and his circle are keeping things extremely close to the vest to prevent leaks. They do not want any decision, which is still in process, to get out before announcing. I would suspect doing some type of national show to announce will be the direction here. No definitive date yet either.

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.
