Syracuse Orange

Syracuse basketball extended another offer to a big in the 2023 class on Tuesday. The Orange offered Castaic (CA) Southern California Academy center Drew Fielder. Fielder also holds offers from Arizona state, Boston College, Creighton, Iowa, Maryland, Miami, Nebraska, Providence, St. John's, TCU, USC and Washington State, among others. The 6-10, 210 pounder has an official scheduled to USC this weekend and will look to take more officials this month. Syracuse is in line to get one of those visits.

Fielder, a Boise (ID) native, had a relatively quiet recruitment until this summer. As he performed well at various AAU events, high major offers poured in. In fact, during a matchup with JP Estrella, the Syracuse target who is expected to select Tennessee in a couple of days, Fielder had 18 points and 10 rebounds on 7-9 shooting in a win. He was named a standout at several events this summer by a variety of recruiting analysts.

This is the second offer Syracuse has extended to a center prospect in less than a week. The Orange offered William Patterson, a Brooklyn (NY) native, after a strong Elite Camp performance over the weekend. Patterson is looking to return for a visit sometime this season.

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.
