Recruitment Recap: Caden Brown was one of the most highly regarded recruits in New York State. Considered a top five prospect in the state, Rutgers quickly jumped to the forefront of his recruitment. In fact, Brown was considered a heavy Rutgers lean for quite some time. However, when Fran Brown was hired as the new Syracuse head coach, Caden's attitude towards the Orange changed. He spoke with Fran Brown multiple times, set up an official visit for this past weekend and committed following the trip.

Evaluation: Brown has all of the tools to be a well rounded defensive end or outside linebacker. He is long with a 6-3 frame that can easily add weight to help gain more strength, but already looks like he has been in a collegiate strength and conditioning program. He is physical at the point of attack, has an explosive first step and shows a variety of moves as a pass rusher. Brown has a very high ceiling.

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.
