Recruitment Recap: Emanuel Ross committed to Stanford and seemed to be a solid Cardinal pledge. However, coaching change at Texas A&M led to Elijah Robinson heading to Syracuse as its new defensive coordinator under head coach Fran Brown. Brown and Robinson quickly worked to get Ross on campus for an official visit. That trip was enough for Ross to flip his commitment. He was one of the most sought after receivers in the northeast. 

Evaluation: Ross has all of the traits you look for in an elite offensive playmaker at the wide receiver position. He has good size at 6-2 and blazing speed. On top of that, he possesses great ball skills, is dangerous after the catch and runs good routes. He does have to get a bit stronger to combat with physical corners at the power five level and work on blocking fundamentals. But this is a player with a tremendously 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.
