In this story:

Class of 2023 shooting guard Reid Ducharme announced his commitment to Xavier on Thursday, spurning other finalists Syracuse and Penn State. Ducharme, a 6-6 guard who is considered one of the best shooters in the class, also held offers from Connecticut, Creighton, DePaul, Iowa, Miami, Northwestern, Providence, Stanford and Virginia Tech, among others. 

Syracuse recruited Ducharme for a while during the cycle. The Orange had multiple coaches at nearly all of his AAU games and hosted him for an official visit. In the end, however, Ducharme elected to go with the Musketeers. The Xavier coaches also put the full court press on Ducharme, and their efforts have paid off. 

The Orange offered Ducharme in August of 2021 following a strong Elite Camp performance. The offer from Xavier came in May of 2022. Several other high major programs extended scholarship opportunities in between. 

Syracuse has extended offers to other guards in the 2023 class, some of whom have trimmed their list to exclude the Orange. Mike Williams, a 6-3 combo guard out of Bishop Walsh School in Maryland, has an official visit scheduled for September 16th. He will also take officials to Clemson, DePaul, LSU and Wake Forest over the next two months.

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.
