That beard is everything I need to see in my life. Anyway somebody can photoshop that beard onto him when he played at SU?
Haha! Is that beard envy, or is it a man crush with Andy and your not digging the new look?Never understood why good looking guys cover up their face with that crap.

Mike Waters tweeted this. Guess he’s proving to be a sharp shooter, if that’s a surprise to anyone.

Thanks for posting that video as I'd never seen it and loved being able to reflect. I wish that Syracuse basketball had Andy Rautins (meaning someone who played the game the way he did) on the team. Kid was talented, but always seemed to play within himself. He's literally one of the only basketball players at SU that I've never really critiqued. If Andy decided to take a shot, it was usually a shot he should have taken. If the shot wasn't there, I don't remember him triggering.Andy had a lightning quick release too.
Andy is to my thinking, the best pure basketball player we have had in a long, long time. Not the best athlete, shooter, rebounder, dribbler, etc,. all of which he was good to excellent at, but making the right pass and not making the wrong one. Being in the right spot. Understanding time and situation. All of the nuamce lost in the AAU world.Thanks for posting that video as I'd never seen it and loved being able to reflect.

Andy is one player that I appreciated watching wear the Orange.
I echo this exact sentiment to people all the time. Andy really understood playing angles, both on offense & defense. His assist numbers weren't huge but he had some of the best vision of any player I can remember. He had a few needle-threading 3/4 court bounce passes off the dribble that made my jaw drop.Andy is to my thinking, the best pure basketball player we have had in a long, long time.

High Point was also be a good spot for him.Hope he lands with buffalo/sbu/canisius. I dont think hes cuse calibre but could help out a solid mid major like the first two
Leo retweeted this today.
Why can’t we have walk ons that eventually become starters? Like UNC and Luke Maye. With a redshirt year Sam could be lighting it with Buddy from beyond the arc.
He didn’t really walk on, was unsure of an open scholarship but wanted to go to UNC. Was a top 100 guy and had a few other P5 offeres.
Wasn't he more into baseball early?Family friends with the Rautins. Used to shoot hoops in the driveway with Sammy when he was not much older than 5 years old. Cool to see him getting D1 offers.
Is walking on at Syracuse an option?
