In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Class of 2025 Columbus (OH) Bishop Ready running back Kentrell Rinehart took a visit to Syracuse over the weekend. He called the visit "eye opening."

"Didn't know what to expect," Rinehart said. "Never really heard of Syracuse until coach Brown got hired and started making big hires and landing some real good players. Then getting to campus and seeing the energy they bring and how much they actually want me to come play there left me in awe."

One of the highlights of the visit was being able to attend Syracuse basketball's win over NC State in the JMA Wireless Dome Saturday night.

"It was pretty good," Rinehart said. "We had a bunch of fun."

The 6-2, 200 pound back also got to spend time with the new Syracuse coaching staff. He said they were laid back, cool, and real genuine people After the visit, he thinks highly of the Orange.

"Top two as of now," Rinehart said.

Rinehart is rated a three star prospect by 247Sports. The other recruiting services have not evaluated him to date. In addition to Syracuse, he holds offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Indiana, Kent State, Kentucky, Marshall, Maryland, Minnesota, NC State, Ohio, Purdue, South Florida, Toledo, Western Michigan and others.

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.
