Class of 2025 Hamden (CT) Hall athlete Qeanu Johnson is one of the more intriguing prospects in New England. He plays both wide receiver and defensive back in high school, and is being recruited for both at the next level. The 6-1, 190 pounder holds offers from Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia. He spent Saturday on the Syracuse campus to get a closer look at the program. 

"I really enjoyed my time up there," Johnson said. "First I got there and I got taken around campus. Then I came back and met with strength and conditioning, got weighed in and measurements taken. Met with nutrition and then went to have lunch. I met with coach Brown about the program and how he is as a coach. 

"It went good. Some of my favorite parts were getting suited up, the basketball game, coaches meetings and the strength staff." 

That basketball game was watching Syracuse beat NC State in the Dome Saturday night. 

"I loved the game," Johnson said. "It was a great atmosphere and towards the end it go to be a nail biter. The atmosphere was crazy though. It was loud in there. I would be sitting then the bleacher just starts moving and shaking. The student section was going sick and the fans as well. I don't think there was an empty seat in there." 

While the coaches spoke to Johnson about football related topics, they also diverted from that to speak on a more personal level. 

"A lot of discussion with the coaches was about the team and the program," Johnson said. "They also mentioned morals, and a little about themselves as coaches, husbands and fathers." 

While there is no current timeframe for a decision, Johnson did say he wants to sign during the early signing period. He says Syracuse is "definitely in the running" after visiting and getting to know more about the program as well as the coaches.

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.
