Are there examples

[GooseMutt]

Of quality players that followed dad at his alma mater?
Would Kiyan Anthony really consider Cuse to play in dads shadow?
Let’s not bring up the Rautins.
But others?

Its a tough case because there have very few who has had a career like Melo.

….Why not the Rautins? They were both excellent players?

Only other ones I can think of are Gary Payton and his son going to Oregon St., and Patrick Ewing and his son going to Georgetown….though the son transferred in.

DaJuan Coleman.

Adrian Autry and “next year’s starting PG” Adrian Autry Jr Edfromsodus

Boozer twins to Duke. I know it’s not Cuse, but it answers the overall question.

Seems like the answer is no.

Gary Payton and Gary Payton II at Oregon State

Seems like the answer is no.

Wonder why people think that the Rautins don’t ‘count’. To be honest can you or anyone think of an impact legacy basketball recruit who shunned SU for another D1 program either?

Agreed. I don't quite understand the "Let’s not bring up the Rautins" comment.

Not impact but Stevie Thompson's kids. I know he coached one but did he coach both?

Think he was ruling him out because Andy wasn't much of a recruit, or at least that's my guess. Turned himself into a heck of a player obviously. And I was thinking on a national scale among NBA star level types.

Yes he coached both his sons.

Doesn’t that make Andy’s career and SU’s recruitment of Andy an even more impressive accomplishment? Taking an unranked legacy recruit who morphed into an impact starter at SU and drafted by the New York Knicks. He is still playing pro ball 12 years after he left SU. Hmm sounds more like an agenda driven take by not ‘counting him’, than a realistic one.

Gary Coleman didn’t attend SU did he?

Do people that use terms like "agenda" and "narrative" think there is some secret society of Syracuse fans that are trying to disparage the team and actually hate all of the players and hope the athletic department goes out of business?

I find it so odd when I see those terms used here constantly as if we aren't all grown adults spending our valuable time on a SYRACUSE message board and participating within that community by our choice. What agenda could the OP possibly have that would make any sense? He's trying to make all of us, the diehard 1% of Syracuse fans, that watched Rautins play for years change our minds in June of 2022 and re-consider if Andy Rautins was actually good?

I think the way I was looking at it was probably accurate. Rautins was a low-ranked kid in our backyard and had some Providence & St Bonaventure interest so I'd guess that he wasn't counting him because that wasn't some kind of difficult recruitment. Was pretty expected that if we offered, we got him. I believe he was looking at it nationally which is a pretty good question since none of us could really come up with any decent examples.
