It is May 1st so I thought I would check Twitter and though I did not find any Rochester recruits, I did find this article suggesting that Jim Boeheim was interviewing for the Rochester job.

Mike Neer got the job instead and went on to win 563 games (0.63%) and a national championship.

Roosevelt Bouie. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. "The Louie and Bouie Show" was all the rage when I was in high school in the Syracuse suburbs; Louis Orr and Roosevelt Bouie, both products of Jim Boeheim's first recruiting class as Syracuse's head coach, each scored about 1,500 points for the Orangemen over the course of their parallel careers and had their jersey numbers retired by SU.

When I was a kid, Roy Danforth was the King of Syracuse. Boeheim was still just Danforth's protege, but he was a key cog in the machine, since as the Orangemen's only assistant coach in those simpler times he was also the chief recruiter. Boeheim's other job was to coach the Syracuse JV team, which was known as the Tangerines. (I have no idea if they're still called that, or if SU even has a junior varsity anymore.) Syracuse University men's basketball was such a big deal in Central New York that the Syracuse Herald-Journal even ran game stories on the Tangerines -- small, three-paragraph stories buried in the middle of the sports section, but that was more than LeMoyne or Cortland State or Ithaca or Oswego State ever got from the Herald-Journal. Even when Ithaca would win a D3 football national championship, the column inches devoted to the championship wouldn't be any bigger than the Tangerines would get for a JV game against, say, Onondaga Community College or the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Deep in the recesses of my brain, I'll always think of Boeheim as the geeky-looking twentysomething who coached the Tangerines.

And playing for the Scranton Miners in the Eastern League on the weekends where I saw him at least once.

I'm not sure I would call him a point guard, but he should be a very good player for Emory. Pretty long and athletic, and rebounds well for a 6-4 player.

Sorry if this has hit the board already...I'm not sure if it has.

This is a highly regarded player from IL heading to Carnegie Mellon...

Looks like a territorial draft violation snatching him from the NEPA colleges.
