Good to see Jim Boeheim taking this position.
But it's a losing battle.
He may be a dinosaur in that regard.
And it seems the logical extension is that college players will wind up getting paid for their effort.
 
As for this article:
 
"Boeheim also makes sure not to mention guys like [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/players/52510/kris-joseph'][U]Kris Joseph[/U][/URL], [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/players/26307/scoop-jardine'][U]Scoop Jardine[/U][/URL], [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/players/26296/andy-rautins'][U]Andy Rautins[/U][/URL], [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/players/26295/rick-jackson'][U]Rick Jackson[/U][/URL] or even Gerry McNamara. Guys who stayed for the full ride but who were ultimately unable to secure long-term employment in the NBA."
 
Each one of those guys improved every year in college.  They maximized their NBA chances by staying.
And that's been true of the overwhelming majority of players Syracuse has recruited over the years.
For each one who bombed out by leaving early...there are more who had a shot because they stayed and worked for it.
