Syracuse Legacy Caden Brown Commits to the Orange, Discusses Decision /

Syracuse Orange

Class of 2024 Brooklyn (NY) Erasmus Hall edge Caden Brown has committed to Syracuse, he announced following an official visit over the weekend. Brown picked the Orange over offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Michigan State, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Washington and West Virginia, among others.

"I picked Syracuse because of my relationship with the coaches," Brown said."Coach Fran, coach Elijah, coach Nick and coach Rob. They all are great and I feel a connection with them. I also chose Syracuse because my dad played here and I want to continue the legacy. Another reason is because I want to represent New York and New York City. I want to show players can make it out of New York and be successful. Especially out of New York City. They have so many majors, I'm going to have a hard time choosing. But after all the academic meetings we had, I'm going to look closely at Sports Management. It sounds interesting."

Brown's dad is Alban Brown who played for the Orange from 1987 to 1989. Caden says it means a lot to follow in his dad's footsteps.

"My dad played football for Syracuse in the 80s, so I'm happy to follow him and play at the school that he played at before me."

The 6-4, 215 pounder is rated a high three star prospect by all four major recruiting services. 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals rank him as a top five player in New York State.

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.
