The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team will have an added Boeheim on its roster this season. After Jim and Buddy made headlines last March as a father-son duo advancing to the Sweet 16, eldest son Jimmy transferred in from Cornell, utilizing his final year of college eligibility to play for dad.
The Ivy League cancelled its season last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thus leaving Jimmy with one year if eligibility remaining. It felt inevitable that he would end up transferring to Syracuse to team up with Jim and little brother. In April, he made that inevitability a reality.
