Jimmy Boeheim announced his commitment to Syracuse on Friday. The former Cornell standout will join the Orange to play for his dad Jim Boeheim and alongside brother Buddy Boeheim. He spoke to the media Friday to discuss the process and his final decision.
Q: What has that conversation like with dad when you told him you wanted to come to Syracuse? It was really special, Boeheim said. He tried to contain it a little bit, but you could easily tell how excited he was. And my mom s in the background, just screaming and crying and whatever. But it was just really special. Can t help but smile. It s really just a surreal feeling. It s hard to explain. I never saw this coming. So just really special.
