In this story:

Syracuse men's basketball hired a new head coach for the first time in 47 years on Wednesday as Jim Boeheim retired and Adrian Autry was promoted. Just days later, the entire Syracuse staff was in attendance for one of its top targets in the 2024 recruiting class Saturday and will see more on Sunday. 

The Orange watched 2024 Warminster (PA) Archbishop Wood guard Jalil Bethea's win against CB East. 

"I did good tonight," Bethea said. "Not very much of a shooting performance but my defense and passing was great." 

Syracuse did not just send one coach but all three including new head coach Adrian Autry as well as assistants Gerry McNamara and Allen Griffin. 

"It just means that they really care," Bethea said. "They just wanted to show me that they are still there." 

Bethea added that the coaching change does not change anything in his recruitment because he has strong relationships with all of the Orange coaches. He says they remain a school in which he is very interested. 

After taking in Bethea's game, the coaches will be in New York City on Sunday to watch 2024 commit Elijah Moore's Cardinal Hayes squad take on 2024 target Boogie Fland's Stepinac team. Moore is considered one of the best shooters in the class and is considered a top 70 prospect. Fland is one of the best players regardless of position and is considered a top 10 player in the 2024 class.

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.
