Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 point guard Nigel James is an intriguing prospect with power conference offers from Creighton, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Providence, Providence, Rutgers, Syracuse, St. John's, USC and Wake Forest, among others. The offer from Syracuse came during last month's elite camp. 

James was already on the Orange radar prior to that point, but his performance at the camp sealed the deal for SU extending a scholarship opportunity. It did not take long from that point before the two sides worked together to schedule an official visit. That takes place this coming weekend and the 6-0, explosive point guard is looking forward to getting a closer look at the program. 

"I am looking to get a feel for how life would be on campus," James said. "I am also looking forward to see how Syracuse envisions me there as a player. I want to talk to players and get a feel for their experience at Syracuse." 

After spending last season at Cushing Academy in Massachusetts, James is transferring for his junior year. He will be attending Long Island Lutheran High School this season, as he announced in early August. 

In addition to visiting Syracuse, James has officials scheduled for Providence (September 29th), Rutgers (October 6th) and Wake Forest (October 29th).

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.
