Jim Boeheim talks NIL, transfer portal and Syracuse recruiting a backup center

The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball program is well into offseason at this point, but on Wednesday Jim Boeheim appeared on Eric Devendorf’s show on Cuse Sports Talk to lightheartedly discuss a medley of topics, including the inexact science of recruiting rankings, name, image and likeness (NIL), the transfer portal and how Syracuse is still searching for a backup center, among other subjects.

Much ink has been spilled this offseason over NIL in the college basketball world as players like Oscar Twishbe can expect to make upwards of $2 million at Kentucky this upcoming season and North Carolina’s Armando Bacot is set to appear in Netflix’s series the Outer Banks.
