Andy Rautins came to Syracuse as a low division-one prospect, but he left as one of the best shooters in program history.
Syracuse took a chance on Andy Rautins. As the son of former Syracuse player Leo Rautins, Andy wasn't heavily recruited out of high school. The coaching staff told Rautins they weren't sure how much he would play if he came to Syracuse, but Rautins was adamant about being a Syracuse Orange. Joining the Syracuse basketball program in the 2005-2006 season, Rautins would only play in 20 games behind senior Gerry McNamara and talented freshman guard Eric Devendorf.
