Syracuse Basketball: Boeheim’s Army adds NBA level depth in BJ Johnson

It seemed like Boeheim’s Army added the final piece to the puzzle last week with the Andrew White acquisition.

In the infamous words of Lee Corso, “not so fast my friend.”

An 11th player was added to the roster on Monday afternoon in BJ Johnson. It was a player that general manager Kevin Belbey had his eyes on since last May, per Donna Ditota of Syracuse.com.

Although as we’ve discussed previously, Belbey has a process when he’s reaching out to players (we did a full behind the scenes conversation here on the roster construction), he usually waits a year after a player is away from the NBA.
