Marcus Adams Schedules Syracuse Official Visit /

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse basketball recruiting target Marcus Adams has scheduled an official visit January 29th , he tells AllSyracuse.com. It was moved up from a previously scheduled date of February 18th. That means he will be in attendance for Syracuse’s big Monday game against Virginia on the 30th. When he gets to campus, he knows exactly what he will be looking for in order to determine if Syracuse is the right fit.

"How the coaches are in person," Adams said. "The environment, the team, how they practice and how they play. Those are all the basics that you need."

The offer from the Orange came last month. Adams has been in constant communication with the Orange staff ever since.

"It's been coach Boeheim, really," Adams said. "I've spoken to one of the assistants and coach Boeheim three times. It's really just like 'hey how are you doing' and looking at stuff. How I can be used in the program and stuff like that. All the stuff a coach usually talks to you about. I've been talking to the assistant about setting up an official to go there. It should be by the end of the month."

The 6-8 prospect has the ability to be in the 2023 or 2024 recruiting class. Which is Syracuse recruiting him for?

"I think both," Adams said. "I don't know what I'm going to do yet but they're looking at me for both."

At this point in his recruitment, Syracuse has Adams' attention.

"Big interest," Adams said. "They are going to be in my top five or top seven when I announce, but definitely really big interest. They've been showing a lot of interest in me, which I like. Definitely big interest."

UCLA, USC, Oregon, Texas and Ole Miss are among the other schools coming at Adams hard right now. He says whichever school needs him the most and gives him the best chance to get to the NBA will be more important than location.

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.
