Yikes...SU shut out of ACC All-Academic team: http://www.theacc.com/news/2015-all-acc-academic-mens-basketball-team-announced-03-05-2015

Was just going to post this on the board in a separate thread. Louisville has 7 All-ACC academicians? 7? And Duke has 5?

Color me skeptical. :noidea:

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim further explains meaning of 'tremendous changes' (PS: Carlson)

"When you talk about change, last year we lost four great players, that's tremendous change," Boeheim said. "Just using that word must have, I didn't mean it to shock people, but it must have shocked some people into a quandary because there was tremendous change last year and there will be tremendous change this year."

By tremendous changes, Boeheim said he was simply referring to the loss of potential All-American Rakeem Christmas and the likely addition of six scholarship players from the end of this year's healthy roster.

Syracuse brings in four freshmen who make up one of the country's top recruiting classes and also returns two potential starters returning from injury.

"Really there was nothing specific, no 'I know this is going to happen' type of thing," Boeheim said. "Obviously when you lose a Rakeem Christmas that's a huge change. When you also have four new players coming in (and) we're hopeful that our two injured guys are coming back and being healthy. That's six guys that really didn't factor this year that are going to be on your team. That's a huge difference.
