Hoop Group Atlantic City Jam Fest - July 7-9

Gerry McNamara, Jim Boeheim and Adrian Autry are all in attendance. 

Quadir Copeland: A 6-6 point guard, Copeland officially visited Syracuse from June 22-24. He called the visit "amazing." Copeland has also taken an unofficial visit to Maryland. 

Kyle Filipowski: A 6-11 power forward, Filipowski has become one of the hottest recruits in the 2022 cycle. He has taken five official visits and a few unofficials in June. One of his officials was to Syracuse, which he called "a great experience." 

Chance Westry: The 6-4 guard took an official to Syracuse last month. LSU is currently the presumed favorite.

Elite 32 in Atlanta - July 10-11

Gerry McNamara and Jim Boeheim will be in attendance. 

Justin Taylor: Taylor took an official visit to Syracuse last month. He also took officials to North Carolina and Indiana, as well as an unofficial to Virginia Tech. After those trips, Taylor committed to the Orange. He is helping Syracuse recruit both Copeland and Filipowski. 

In addition, Syracuse center target Christ Essandoko is participating in the Under Armour Association Live Session I in Georgia (July 8-11). He plays for Team Curry. It would not be a surprise if assistant Allen Griffin was in attendance to watch Essandoko, but we have not confirmed that yet. Essandoko plays at Winston-Salem Prep in North Carolina, but is originally from France. He is listed at 7-0, 260 pounds.

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.
