Syracuse senior forward Jimmy Boeheim became the basketball program's second ever First Team Academic All American selection by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Tuesday. He joins Danny Schayes (1981) as the only First Team selections in program history. Jimmy had a 3.78 GPA in a master's of education program at Syracuse after graduating magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in business from Cornell. 

He is joined on the first team by Tanner Groves of Oklahoma, Hunter Schofield of Dixie State, JT Shumate of Toledo and Ben Vander Plas of Ohio. 

Boeheim was named to the All ACC Tournament Second Team after averaging 20 points and 6.5 rebounds over the final two games of his Orange career. Jimmy scored 12 points on 6-9 shooting while grabbing six rebounds against Florida State in the Orange's 96-57 win. The next game against Duke, Syracuse was without Jimmy's brother Buddy who was suspended after an incident with FSU's Wyatt Wilkes.

Jimmy, playing for his brother, had the best game of his Orange career with 28 points on 11-20 shooting including 6-9 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed seven rebounds and had three steals. Jimmy shot 58.6% from the floor and 60% from the three point line during the 2022 ACC Tournament.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
