With Midnight Madness a little over a week away, hoops recruiting is heating up for Jim Boeheim and staff. With visitors coming and going, as well as prospects cutting their lists of college options and seeing which coaches are coming to workouts, this is a rigorous time for the Orange to cement their status with the class of 2013 and 2014. Here is a preview of Saturday’s basketball recruiting segment on Fizz Radio.
- Saturday, SU will host a priority recruit in Tyler Roberson, who is scheduled to take an official visit to campus for Family Weekend.
After a trip to SMU, and another to Kansas in the next two weeks, will the Orange be able to land this priority forward for the class of 2013? He projects to be the perfect Syracuse-type player, and would be a huge get for SU. 
- Could Syracuse really land a player out of Arizona? Dorian Pickens is a class of ’14 talent and made his way to campus this past Thursday.
Pickens actually has family in upstate New York and is a legitimate option for the Orange. Arizona State, Boston College, Oklahoma and others are recruiting him hard.¬†He has offers from ASU and New Mexico, but SU will also have to battle a future ACC foe in Boston College to land him. The Eagles also have an offer out to the shooting guard. He¬†doesn’t blow you away with any of his skills on offense, but makes shots from all over the court, facilities the offense and he can also contribute without the ball.¬†
- Syracuse commit Tyler Ennis leads a pack of talented recruits into Midnight Madness. Currently, there will be four major names attending from the classes of 2013, 2014 and 2015. We’ll go over them on Saturday.
Last year, Midnight Madness at the Dome was a smashing success. Ennis was in attendance, and that helped land him for the Orange. So was Nerlens Noel, and Isaiah Briscoe. The stars will shine. 
- Jim Boeheim has dipped into Detroit before with Derrick Coleman back in the 1990’s. He has a shot to do it once more with five-star recruit James Young. With the perennial McDonald’s All American down to four schools, will Young flock from one frozen tundra to another?
Young is reminiscent of a more explosive Michael Redd, and compares favorably to Nick Young. The big boys are all in on him, including nearby Michigan State. His finalists look like any season’s preview of a potential Final Four: Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas and Syracuse.
With Roberson being the first official visitor of the fall for Syracuse, can they bring a few more seniors on campus soon? Three names come to mind as recruits who could take a trip to the 315 this fall or winter.
We’ll have answers to this and more on a fresh episode of Fizz Radio on Saturday morning from 9-10AM on The Score 1260 and stream it at theScore1260.com. All episodes are also available on iTunes.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a great job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a fair price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
Currently it sounds like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
