Syracuse football has 18 players committed for its 2024 recruiting class. With the firing of Dino Babers on Sunday, it leaves those players currently in limbo. All Syracuse reached out to each member of the class to get their reaction to the news. This will be updated as recruits respond. 

OL Noah Rosahac: “It was a bit of a shock to me. I thought they would at least give him the chance to go bowl eligible but I didn’t expect something to happen this early. I love Coach Babers for everything he has done for me and I wish him the best. Now I just have to talk to the coaches and my family on the situation, but as of right now I’m still a part of the Orange Family.”

OL Willie Goodacre: "It's a tough situation. We will just have to see who they hire and who is going to be our head coach." Goodacre added that he was close to coach Babers, but his belief in coach Farmer is a big reason why he committed. Whether or not he is retained as offensive line coach may dictate if he stays committed or reopens his recruitment. 

TE Jamie Tremble: "No comment as of now. I'm still discussing some stuff with my parents and coaches." 

ATH Braheem Long: "When I first heard about Coach Dino Babers getting fired, I was shocked. But this don't affect my commitment status. I'm still 100% committed to the Cuse."

DL David McMorris: "I have no comment about the situation at this time."

LB Jayden Brown: "It's crazy. My mind is racing. I just need to talk things over with my family and loved one."

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.
