In this story:

Syracuse basketball hosted its annual elite camp on Saturday, and has extended several offers since based on players' performances. One of those offers went down this week to class of 2026 point guard Neiko Mundey. Mundey played his freshman season at Our Lady of Good Counsel High in Maryland, but is transferring to Shabach Christian Academy for his sophomore campaign. 

"I first went to the camp to showcase my talent," Mundey said. "They watched some of my games before then so they were really excited to see me compete at the camp. I did really good and got the call the next day." 

That call came from one of Syracuse's assistant coaches. 

"Coach Brendan Straughn called and he said that him and coach Autry liked what they saw over the summer and at the Syracuse camp," Mundey said. "I was grateful and excited." 

The relationship between Mundey and Syracuse has begun and he is looking forward to continuing to develop that. The 6-3 point guard already holds the Orange program in high regards. 

"I love how much the fans show support," Mundey said. "I like the development of the players that go there." 

Besides Syracuse, Mundey says Florida State is recruiting him hard. The Seminoles are the only other high major to offer to date, but that number will only grow moving forward.

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.
