Philadelphia (PA) Northeast offensive lineman Naquil Betrand has seen his recruitment blow since the spring. The coveted 2023 prospect committed to Colorado in mid-March, but that has not stopped other power five programs from extending scholarship opportunities. 

Since that commitment, he has picked up offers from Texas A&M, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Penn State, Maryland, Boston College, Kentucky, Georgia and Auburn. On Wednesday, Betrand released his top 10. 

Those 10 schools were Texas A&M, Georgia, Kentucky, Auburn, Colorado, Syracuse, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Maryland and Boston College. 

Betrand has an official visit scheduled to Syracuse the weekend of June 24th. He previously unofficially visited in early May. 

"Got my lanyard and changed and took pictures," Betrand said after his previous visit. "I got to see the trophies, national championship, the wall of fame, Donovan McNabb posters, stuff like that. Then we went on a tour of the whole campus and the facilities. Went to all the facilities around the school like where my classes would be at if I came there and my major and everything like that. We toured the field, the Dome. The Dome is crazy. I've never even been in a dome before, so to see that was crazy.

"After the Dome, we went to the inside practice facilities and the Carmelo Anthony building. Saw all the basketball courts. Went to the weight room with the Muscle Milk and all that. Went to the apartments complex to see where I'd live at. Crazy. You get your own walk-in closet, your own personal bathroom. That's where it's at right there."

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.
