Top 2024 New Jersey DB Willy Love Has 'Amazing' Syracuse Visit /

Syracuse football has been very busy on the recruiting trail over the last few weeks with commitments and hosting a plethora of talented visitors. One of them was 2024 Camden (NJ) Woodrow Wilson defensive back Willy Love.

"Cuse was amazing," Love said. "The best parts of the entire trip was touring the campus and seeing how much love the players get. How it is being a Cuse player. There's no NFL team around so Syracuse is the town's favorite guys. They support them at a high level. I noticed it when I saw the stores and the amount of people wearing Syracuse. How nicely and kindly they treated the recruits."

During the visit, Love added a Syracuse offer to his list that also includes Boston College, Georgia, Ole Miss, Penn State, Rutgers and Texas A&M.

"I was talking to the head coach (Dino Babers)," Love said. "He said if I had the juice and Cuse was the place. That's very understood because they have my blood cousin Duce Chestnut. I was excited and happy."

Love has spoken with his cousin about Chestnut's experience at Syracuse thus far.

"He speaks highly of Cuse and would love when he leaves for me to carry on in his footsteps," Love said.

In addition, Love spent time with some of the Syracuse coaches.

"Coach Michael Johnson the wide receivers coach, coach Khalil (Director of High School Relations) and coach Monroe (Defensive Passing Game Coordinator)," Love said. "Their message to me was do not be in a rush and take my time. Enjoy the process because it's fun and it's the only time I'll decide myself where I want to go."

Syracuse made an impression on the talented 6-2, 200 pound defensive back during the visit.

"For the love Cuse showed and Duce being there, Syracuse stands very high," Love said.

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.
