Question on 2022 Roster?

[netman99]

Are either Jimmy or Buddy eligible to play in 2022? I know they are both listed as seniors, but I am wondering if the Covid year allows them to return in 2022...

Buddy yes, Jimmy no.

Buddy - yes.
Junior - no.

The ‘20-‘21 hoops season “never happened” in terms of eligibility.

So - IF you got to play, it was effectively an ‘extra, free’ year.

Ivy League did not play.
So - Junior has just 1 season of on-court eligibility remaining.

Whereas Buddy - while an academic Senior - is a Junior in terms of athletic eligibility.

That's what some people believe...

Does Buddy come back next year?

No. Unless he gets hurt (God forbid). This will be his last year at the University.

Ok will be nice to get a star studded class in for 2022 with who coaching?

I suspect JB

I suspect JB

Yeah me too.

Do you think JB won’t force Buddy to play his final year? I think he will

I think it would be difficult for even Buddy to pass at a chance at the NBA just to stay at Syracuse.

Buddy plays out all his eligibility that he has at SU. JimJr plays at SU for his senior year. Some things don't need to be said, yet people keep asking.

I disagree. That family has a legacy and the last of it sits with Buddy and Jim. I hope they go out on a high note together
