Class of 2018 SG/SF Buddy Boeheim SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

[Cusesky8214]

PG 1st and foremost IMO, I like Carey. I think we are likely to have only Washington and Hughes returning in the backcourt so a starting calibur PG is a must. I also think we are going to need another decent big to develop behind Sidibe.

If I could pick a class out of who we are involved with now and Buddy is a given then I'd go:
Buddy, Carey, Williams, Swider, Bazely and a program big guy with some potential.

That would be one heck of a class right there!

People assume Buddy Boeheim will play for Syracuse basketball; It's not a done deal

Sure sounds like a done deal to me after reading that. If dad says I'm good enough to play at SU then that's where I'm going.

Yeah, I also think JB might be trying to keep BB motivated and focused. Go to prep school, work on the overall game, get stronger, etc.

Fing A right...he's holding out for an offer from Calipari. Take that JB!!

I agree if Juli Boeheim where she says Buddy should go to a school where he would be happy playing for the school and the coach. I remember Lefty Driesell's son playing for Maryland and he got basically clean up minutes. Buddy has more skill than that. He needs to play where he fits into 'the program and can contribute. While I hope it is Syracuse, he has to fit into the program and fills a need.

Dad, the only way I'm signing is if I can bring my buddies Jeenathan and Isiah

What if Buddy really wants to go to Duke, and JB is trying to "show a lot of interest" in Buddy just so Coach K comes in at the 11th hour and offers him? That'd be some higher level scheming right there.

 

[MSOrange]

I think the point about "The assumption that he's headed to Syracuse has likely impacted the amount of programs expressing interest" is very valid. Fran McCaffery's kid experienced the same thing - and he ultimately did end up at Iowa - so the other programs were right for not wasting their time.

He should visit Duke, post a picture all in Duke gear, give a silent verbal, troll the GTECH folk, and sign Cuse last minute

Most interesting in that Buddy article is that he is considering Athletes Institute in CA. Would love for JB to get back with Ennis Sr and have more ins for the big Canadian recruits. Feel like that relationship could use a bit of a jump start.

Love it! ;-)

Can't be Syracuse...Buddy said that's his Dream School!

I think that is the biggest thing. If he decided he doesn't feel comfortable they don't want him to have like 1 other offer because everyone else thought he was going to SU.

SU just signed the number one player in Canada.

SU just signed the number one player in Canada.

Yep, it be nice if that continues and if we can maybe get in on the Wiggins, level kids too. A kid like Rowan Barrett is truly a top kid who translates into top 10 in the US too. Not sure we can grab those level kids at this point.

dude... Brissett and Washington BOTH played for Tony Mcintyre (Ennis Sr's real name)

 

[weedsportwarriors]

I think JB needs to sleep with the kids mom to solidify him coming to SU. lol

Yes, I'm not saying that there is a contentious relationship there. I know that Autry in fact has a solid relationship with Tony. I do believe though that JB didn't endear himself to the Ennis family when Tyler left for the pros. There are also posters on here who know more than I, that have additional thoughts. It's not my info, so I won't share. That said even if things were great, sending your son to play for the man truly shows mutual respect, so we will see. I hope it happens. The other contender for Buddy was listed as Brewster Academy, which has been a great feeder school for us. That's all I got, sorry.

Couldn't hurt, right?

 

[DeGrozz]

Oh, come on!

I take my 2 year-old to House of Sports every Saturday for soccer class. I just stopped going for the summer to free up time for weekend trips and the next thing you know God shows up when I'd normally be there.

Talk about bad luck.

Top 10 in three-point percentage in EYBL last four seasons? Not too shabby
