Syracuse Orange

Syracuse forward Jimmy Boeheim was one of five players selected as 2021-22 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All District 1. He joins Harvard's Kale Catchings, St. Bonaventure's Jaren Holmes, Harvard's Chris Ledlum and Dartmouth's Aaryn Rai on the team. Boeheim had the highest GPA (3.78 for B.S. in Business, 4.00 for Masters Education) of the group. 

Boeheim came to Syracuse as a transfer from Cornell in the offseason. Ivy League schools did not play during the 2020-21 season due to the pandemic. That caused Jimmy to transfer. 

More from a press release from Syracuse Athletics: 

Boeheim, who earned Second Team Academic All-America following his junior year at Cornell, has started all 25 games for the Orange this season. He ranks third on the team in scoring (13.2) and rebounding (5.8) averages. Boeheim graduated cum laude from Cornell last spring. He earned Dean's List recognition in each of his eight semesters in Ithaca. At Syracuse he is pursuing a master's degree in instructional design, development and evaluation in the School of Education. He was named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll following the fall semester.

There are eight districts, divided geographically, that have teams selected in Division I.

Boeheim will now go on the ballot to determine Academic All-American.

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.
