Jimmy Boeheim - Transfer Portal

[eastcuse]

Jimmy is now in the transfer portal. Do we go after him?

 

[Orangefizz]

Bet he’ll graduate from Cornell, then grad transfer here. We could lose both Marek and Quincy after this year opening up playing time to Jimmy

 

[AngryOtto]

Makes sense. Ivy not playing. Graduates in spring. Plays final year at su. Figure he may come as a walk on. He gets free tuition with JB.

 

[jgeorge322]

I rather not. The downside far outweighs the upside.

 

[CousCuse]

Yes. Reminds me of Leo Rautins now that he's full grown man.

 

[Todoubled23]

I believe some of the plugged in guys said he would likely transfer but not to here. I'll take that stance for now even if I personally wouldn't mind having him on the squad. Physically mature, and I dont remember him having a hard time at all scoring almost at will against us last time(?) We played.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s not playing over Benny or Quincy.

He was the 5th leading scorer in the Ivy 19-20. Probably would have challenged for the title this year. That's pretty good.

 

[FloridaFan]

I don’t see the downsides to at least have him for practice sakes. It gives them a certified scorer to stop in practice

 

[UpstateSM]

At best he would be the second forward off the bench, at worst he would be the fourth or fifth.

If he’s cool with that and we have scholarship room, sure.

 

[orangejunkie]

JB not going to recruit his son for insurance purposes to sit the bench. Either he sees him getting valuable minutes or he won't be SU bound.

 

[orangejunkie]

He didn't think Jimmy was SU calibre coming out of HS but after 3 years at Cornell that assessment might change depending on SU's stable of forwards...

 

[elimunelson]

He’s coming. For JAB to finish his career coaching his sons is too much to pass up. W covid things are already up in the air. Kid can play and can do things.

buckle up!

 

[dasher]

No. He will go somewhere where he can play a lot of minutes. That isn't here.

 

[CousCuse]

No. He will go somewhere where he can play a lot of minutes. That isn't here.

Maybe he'll go to Gonzaga or Villanova and help them win a championship so we'll have to live with that for all time.

 

[50YRsofCuse]

So will Jimmy Boeheim have one or two extra years of eligibility. One for siting out and one as an add-on to the NCAA ruling for a 5th year? Probably just 1 year. ???

 

[dasher]

Maybe he'll go to Gonzaga or Villanova and help them win a championship so we'll have to live with that for all time.

You can relax about that. He isn't going to a school in our class.

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

Jimmy wants to go into finance after his basketball career is over. There’s options if he wants to pursue that path academically.

If he wants to play a lot, maybe a school like GW-level in terms of basketball/MBA program makes sense. If he wants to get the best bang for his buck, maybe Northwestern, Vandy or even Stanford could work if they’re open for his business.

 

[CousCuse]

You can relax about that. He isn't going to a school in our class.

I think you may be underestimating his game and basketball acumen.

bobby, woody & benny all say:

 

[kcsu]

I hope he ends up playing for his Dad.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

He’s going to Georgetown

 

[MadNY3]

Funny, immediate thought was Gonzaga as well.

Jimmy is an outstanding student, and I'm sure he would want to go to a school with a good MBA program. Many of them are Ivy League schools (Harvard, Columbia, etc) which, I gather, do not take grad transfer players, and many others do not have D-1 basketball (e.g. NYU, MIT, Chicago). Looking at this list of US News' top B-Schools, there are many intriguing possibilities, including several in the ACC.
