Class of 2016 Jimmy Boeheim Verbal to Cornell

[dasher]

Would he be able to get the 'parent is an SU employee' free/reduced tuition? I wouldn't see that as a hurdle, just wondering how athletes would fall under that. Does Autry Jr get to go to SU for free?

pretty sure, yes. Tuition anyway

95% off tuition.

And the NCAA is just crouching in the shadows, ready to slap him with a suspension over something his dad said decades earlier.

No need to worry. More likely they'll just penalize him wins. So he'll hypothetically start his career at -20-0

Is Jimmy a lefty?

Is Jimmy a lefty?

Yes

 

[LAOrange]

If James came to SU on scholarship, would the NCAA even allow him to accept free meals at home or rides with dad?

Just as long as his father didn't talk to him.

Is Jimmy a lefty?

Is Jimmy a lefty?

No he is not left handed. Jimmy is right handed but he shoots with his left hand. That's why you see him score a lot with his right hand as well.

"We've got great guards who can penetrate and throw good passes," Jimmy Boeheim said in assessing J-D's current team. "And we also can stretch the floor with some of our shooters. We can play multiple defenses, too, which is good."

Even his own son hates the all zone approach, LOL !

Many very good players at NAIA level. I worked at an NAIA school and we had nine DI transfers on our team. Many didn't like where they started but did not want to transfer and sit out a year so transferred to NAIA to play immediately. We had a kid who played with us who made it to the Lakers for a couple years and won a ring with Kobe.

Mike Penberthy?

You got it! He came a couple years after I left.

Wow. He scored 3 points as a sophomore. That isn't an average. He scored 3 points as a sophomore.

Averaged 10.8 ppg as a junior.

Two really impressive jumps over the past 2 years. JB has to be very proud of him.

He probably got Boeheimed the first two years.

[SUFan44]

Is he a preferred walk-on candidate? Would he want to play for his dad? Does anybody know if he's maybe similar to an Andy Rautins-type of guy?

No.

Last I heard he was going to prep school in hopes of raising his stock.

So you're saying Kjo has a future here?

 

[CusefanATL]

Any chance of a Davidson or Harvard? 2 excellent schools with 2 great coaches in 2 great areas.

Or Stanford?

Not sure if true or not, but I've heard Ivy.

 

[CusefanATL]

Or Stanford?

Stanford, but that is high D1 level. Davidson and Harvard are not.

 

[Chicago44s]

Stanford, but that is high D1 level. Davidson and Harvard are not.

Could you imagine a coach coming in to recruit Jimmy? I'm talking about the coaches that JB has an axe to grind against

 

[longtimefan]

Stanford, but that is high D1 level. Davidson and Harvard are not.

ESPN rates Harvard's recruiting class higher than Stanford's--and SU's, for that metter.
