Recruitment Recap: Jaden Hart committed to Syracuse in June during what was a busy month for the previous staff. While he loved that staff and that was part of why he committed, he remained fully committed through the coaching change despite holding several power five offers. When Hart connected with Fran Brown, he still felt like he had a spot in the Orange's 2024 class. That was solidified during an official visit, and he reaffirmed his commitment.

Evaluation: Hart is a well rounded running back who has both power and speed. He runs with balance, has excellent vision between the tackles and in the open field, and can be tough to bring down. Hart is more slippery than elusive, but has a knack for getting to the second level. He also has good hands out of the backfield, which will serve him well at the next level. What we do not see a lot of in his high school film is blitz pickup. That will be something he has to master to see the field early.

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.
