Class of 2025 Guard Efeosa Oliogu 'Excited' For Syracuse Offer /

Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 Canadian guard Efeosa Oliogu was one of several prospects in his class on the Syracuse campus over the weekend for Elite Camp. Oliogu had only positive things to say about his experience.

"It was good to learn that the people and the coaches are good people," Oliogu said. "It was also good to know that nothing is going to come easy and that I need to put in work wherever I go. It was, for sure, a good experience and I am grateful for what they were showing and doing for me."

After the camp was over, Oliogu met with the Syracuse staff including head coach Jim Boeheim. A scholarship offer was extended during that conversation, much to the 6-5 guard's delight.

"I was communicating with the assistant coach and a bit with the (head) coach," Oliogu said. "They were interested in me. Definitely very grateful and just excited."

Syracuse certainly made an impression on Oliogu during camp and with the offer. He has other scholarship opportunities as well, including DePaul, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Providence, TCU and Texas Tech, among others. Therefore, he is still taking his time through the recruiting process.

"I'm still young so it's definitely a good idea to keep my options open," Oliogu said. "But the way they treated me there, it was a good experience."

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.
