Syracuse Women's Basketball Lands Buffalo Transfer Cheyenne McEvans /

Syracuse women's basketball stays active in the portal with the commitment of Buffalo transfer guard Cheyenne McEvans. The news was first reported by World Exposure Report. McEvans was named to the MAC All Freshmen Team following the 2020-21 season after averaging 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

McEvans started 10 of the first 12 games last season before suffering an injury that cost her the rest of the year. She averaged 7.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game before the injury.

The 5-9 guard signed with Buffalo out of high school after starring for Southfield High in Michigan. McEvans was a prolific scorer for Southfield, scoring over 1,500 points in her career. During a superb senior season, McEvans averaged 23.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. In addition, she was named Valedictorian of her graduating class.

McEvans is the latest Buffalo transfer to join former Bulls head coach Felisha Legette-Jack at Syracuse. Saniaa Wilson and Georgia Woolley picked the Orange earlier this month. Two others have transferred in to Syracuse as well in post players Olivia Owens and Kyra Wood.

Legette-Jack took over as the new Syracuse women's basketball head coach following the conclusion of the 2021-22 season. She is working to reshape the roster in order to turn the Orange around as quickly as possible.

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.
