Which Syracuse Basketball Recruits Qualified for Peach Jam

Several Syracuse basketball recruiting targets were in action last week in the EYBL. The EYBL stands for the Elite Youth Basketball League and is run by Nike. The EYBL is considered the premier AAU basketball league, and culminates every summer with the Peach Jam. The Peach Jam is essentially the playoffs for the league, where a champion is crowned. It is a tournament style event, with single elimination games used for teams to advance similar to the NCAA Tournament. 

For the first time ever this year, the Peach Jam semifinals and finals will be televised on ESPN. 

Most Syracuse recruits' AAU squads qualified for Peach Jam. There were, however, a pair who did not. Here are the specifics including player, their respective AAU teams and EYBL record entering Peach Jam.

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.
