Former Syracuse guard John Gillon joins Boeheim’s Army roster for 2019

It’s been a big week for Boeheim’s Army as they’ve quickly filled out the early portions of their 2019 roster for The Basketball Tournament (TBT). On Thursday, they added the latest name to the list — a player that’s both younger and has participated in the event before.

Syracuse.com’s Donna Ditota reports that former Syracuse Orange guard John Gillon returns for 2019 after playing for the squad the last two summers. He’s been a quality outside shooter in previous years, and one of the team’s more reliable scorers in crunch time. His efforts to help get past Team Fancy last season were much appreciated and likely reminded you of some of the one-year Orange player’s better moments playing for Jim Boeheim.
