1. Darrell Gill

The 6-3 track athlete from Texas took an official visit over the weekend and earned an offer during the trip. Going into the visit, Gill said he was not going to sign on National Signing Day (Wednesday, February 1st) but rather wait until the dead period was over to take more visits (March 1st). Schools such as Washington State and San Diego State were in the mix. After the visit and the offer, however, I reached out for an interview about the official. He stated he would like to wait until after Wednesday. That suggests he is at least considering signing on Wednesday. This is one to watch between now and then.

2. Adam Moore

Another official visitor over the weekend was 2023 tight end Adam Moore out of Northwestern High School in Florida. While he visited, I am not expecting any movement here. It seems Syracuse is electing to not add him to its class. SMU may end up as the landing spot.

3. National Signing Day

Given the information noted above, what should Syracuse fans expect on Wednesday? I think a very quiet day. Meaning there is the possibility that Gill signs and the school will likely also announce long snapper transfer Tom Callahan. That is likely to be it barring a surprise or two, which is not currently expected.

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.
