Jack is a freshman, as is his twin sister Jamie. They are also terrific young people. For kids who have grown up in a fish bowl, the three Boeheim children are the nicest, most respectful, least spoiled kids you will ever meet. A seriously good job of parenting.
Bees, that is funny. I know the kids pretty well, and (at least off the court) Jack has the least "toughness" of all three. I know "sweet" is a dumb word to describe a male, but Jack has a serious "niceness" about him. Every time I am with him, I want to kidnap him and adopt him.
Good for him. I have never seen him in a game, so I would not know. Jamie might be the best athlete of the three. She is a very good competitive swimmer who does not consider basketball her "first sport."
As an all-around Ivy League student-athlete.
Absolutely. Elizabeth is a wonderful young woman. I was simply commenting on the three children still at home... who were mentioned by a previous poster.
same thin g was said about Andy Rautins. I remember when he was a young kid, sammy could really shoot. What is his status.
Not the same caliber player at all. Rautins was taking games over, leading his teams to state championships. Rautins was a much, much better athlete at JD also. For a 6'4 guard I remember him dunking with ease.
I am talking about the Ivy League -- or the "Little Ivies," e.g., Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, etc -- not the ACC. Have you watched Brown, for example, lately? BTW, my comment about the Ivy League was in response to someone asking whether he might play at Syracuse?
That's a huge, huge difference. The Ivy Leage is D1. The little Ivies are D3. People don't realize how good you have to be to play D1. Even crappy D1 teams like Colgate or Canisius, you have to be an exceptional high school player to play there.
Hey, once again, I was responding to someone who asked whether he might play at Syracuse. I was basically making the point ... that he is Ivy League material academically. Read my initial response. It says nothing about basketball. I have never seen him play basketball. But I do know how good a student he is. I am sorry if my subtleness escapes some people.
