Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 wing Keira Scott has committed to Syracuse women’s basketball, she announced on Instagram. Scott is listed at 6-2 and has experience playing point guard, shooting guard and small forward. She hails from Virginia where she stars for Bishop O’Connell High School and the Fairfax Stars AAU club on the EYBL circuit. Scott visited unofficially back in August and then took an official last month, which seemed to seal the deal. She had over 20 division one offers including several from high major programs. ASGR Basketball lists her as the sixth best player in the class overall.

Scott missed part of her junior season due to an injury but is back and ready for AAU ball this spring/summer. She has earned rave reviews in the past for her combination of skill, athleticism and length along with her ability to play along the perimeter or inside. She has a reputation of being a willing and physical defender, which will bode well for her translation to the ACC level.

Scott is the first commit for the Orange in the 2024 cycle. Syracuse was active and successful in 2023, landing Australian forward Sophie Burrows as well as four star forward Alyssa Latham.

This comes on the heels of a major roster reconstruction by head coach Felisha Legette-Jack after taking the job before the 2022-23 season. The Orange went 18-12 in her first season at the helm and is awaiting its postseason fate.

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.
