Syracuse Orange

Erasmus Hall standout edge Caden Brown is one of the best players in New York in the 2024 recruiting class and he will officially visit Syracuse this weekend. The news was first reported by Rivals.

He is rated as a top five prospect in the state by 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals. The 6-4, 215 pounder holds offers from Boston College, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Washington and West Virginia, among others.

Syracuse, though, recently underwent a coaching change and hired Fran Brown as its new head coach.

"I met with coach Brown when he was at Georgia," Brown said. "He came to Erasmus Hall and we had a great conversation. So we know of each other. I was happy when I saw he got the head coaching job at Syracuse. I think he's going to be a good fit for Syracuse and bring Syracuse back to where they were when my dad played there in the late 80's."

Brown's dad, Alban Brown, played for the Orange from 1987-1989. The younger Brown admitted the addition of Fran Brown as Syracuse head coach has enhanced his view of the program.

"As far as Syracuse goes, I always liked Syracuse but with coach Brown there I'm even more interested," Brown said.

The Orange is not the only school after him, however. Brown has been considered a heavy Rutgers lean for quite some time.

"Well a lot of schools thought I was committed to Rutgers already," Brown said. "So I had to put it out there that my recruitment is still open. So I've heard from two or three schools but I don't want to say anything until I have official visits locked in. But I will say Syracuse is at the top of my list."

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.
