Class of 2018 SG/SF Buddy Boeheim SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

[AZOrange]

Agreed. His 3 pt. shot looked great!

Why wouldn't we want this guy again?

 

[Digger]

Heard the dad's a real piece of work...

 

[JLine]

He has some Jimmy Chitwood in his game.

 

[jordville]

"Put me in Coach/Dad."

 

[two3zone]

Kid has a legit stroke. At least we know we'll have some three point shooting in 2018 and beyond.

 

[two3zone]

Then again, watch a Harvard offer show up. Sure JB wouldn't mind shelling out the money for him to go there.

 

[EastCoast2]

Imagine bringing in Carmody, Boeheim, and Swider in 2018. 3 white guys with range.

Add in a white big with a flat top and we have an improved Notre Dame class.

I'd have to expect that bringing in a top flight lead guard is the main priority of the class of 2018.

As of right now, we only project to have one open scholarship for that class. That would change if someone like Battle goes pro, or if a player transfers, etc. So when the dust settles, we'll probably have 2. Could be three if we land a 5th year transfer like Thorpe to round out our backcourt rotation.

I think in the end we will have 3 ships...

This is what I am hopefully for...

1- Carey or MCW brother
2- Wright or Carmody or Swider
3- Bazley
4- Boeheim comes as non-scholly player

Meant in addition to Carey, perhaps

Not to be pedantic, but - technically - as of RIGHT now, we have 3 open scholarships for that class.

But yes - assuming that the other 2 get filled, somehow, for 2017, and then whether 0, 1, or 2 of those are Grad x-fers, will determine how many openings we have for '18.

Related: I can't imagine a (non-injury) situation where Battle doesn't leave to go Pro.
He's a prototype NBA SG, and he's going to be option A, B, and C this year on offense.

Also related: If PC is ineffective again this season, he's likely to follow Chino's lead and take his degree and go play elsewhere.
Whether he wants to, or not.

Don't we "project" to have at least 3 right now? 2 from this year and 1 that opens from the sanctions. Or are not counting the two that may go to Dolezaj and ...?

If I had my wishes, I'd hope for a legit lead guard and a SF with shooting, with another G/ or /C type. Basically Carey and Swider (and J. Williams?). Buddy would hopefully be a walk-on for a year.

What about Williams or Jones?

 

[jordoo]

What about Williams or Jones?

They are in the mix but we don't have room for all of them.

 

[Shark58]

No love for little Rautins? Maybe he can "walk on" too

Imagine bringing in Carmody, Boeheim, and Swider in 2018. 3 white guys with range.

 

[JayC20]

Anyone who has seen Buddy play, how will his game translate at SU if he decides to come? Best player to compare too? Rautins?

 

[dasher]

how many stars does he have?

 

[jordville]

how many stars does he have?

2 stars on VC. Not ranked in any other service.

 

[Cusefan0307]

2 stars on VC. Not ranked in any other service.

I would imagine that goes up. He hasn't played on a national level until this summer.

 

[jordville]

Agreed.

NOT RANKED?????? Fire JB!

 

[pfister1]

When asked Boeheim said, Buddy's rising recruiting ranking is Media Nonsense, he's not ready for college.

I’ve seen him play with City Rocks, no doubt that Buddy can shoot, with his feet set, he rarely misses and has near perfect mechanics. He needs to work on his ball handling, defense, and overall athletic ability. I will take a shot at interpreting JB comment “he's not ready for college” as meaning he is going to prep school. As a 2018 recruit, he could play at a mid-major or Ivy but the ACC would be a stretch. After 2 years in prep school, who knows?

First high school junior to be Boeheimed.
