Jimmy Boeheim Earns Academic All American Status
Congratulations to Jimmy Boeheim for making First Team Academic All American. Boeheim is only the second Orange men’s basketball player to earn first team honors, and the 8th to receive any Academic All Americanrecognition.
The ability for an Orange player to make Academic All American is far rarer than making All American status based on playing accomplishments. Consider that sixteen Orange players have made the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team AP All American, whereas only eight have made the Academic All American.
