Syracuse captains (from l to r) Zaire Franklin, Luke Arcinega, and Rob Trudo lead the Orange out against Virginia Sat. afternoon

Good luck to the Syracuse women’s basketball team in the ACC Tourney! On to today’s recruiting links…

Hollywood (Fla.) running back Shaun Shivers already has plenty of offers, including Georgia Tech, Illinois, Kencuky and LSU. On Thursday evening on Twitter, he released an early favorite list that included three schools: Syracuse, West Virginia and Georgia Tech. But he also said “things can change,” which makes sense since he is a 2018 prospect.

Scout.com’s Chad Simmons caught up with Chaminade (Fla.) wide receiver Daewood Davis. The 2017 prospect committed to Syracuse under the Scott Shafer era, but has continued to be heavily recruited by Dino Babers’ staff. While Davis says he’s remained committed to Syracuse, but says he will listen other schools.

Syracuse is inquiring about Ventura College (CA) wide receiver Riley Smith, reports JUCO Football Frenzy. The JUCO prospect is rated three stars by 247 Sports.

John Carroll (Md.) wide receiver Niko Rice visited Syracuse earlier in the week and recently picked up an offer from Lafayette. He tweeted on Thursday that he had received an offer from Harvard. He has a three-star rating from Scout.

Coaches from Villanova and St. John’s were on hand to watch wing Jordan Tucker on Thursday evening, reports SNY.tv’s very own, Adam Zagoria. The 2017 wing offer list includes Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Oklahoma, Providence, and, of course, Syracuse.

That’s all for today. Have a great weekend!
