All of the Boeheims are getting in on the action for Boeheim's Army this summer in the $1 million, winner-take-all The Basketball Tournament ("TBT").
Boeheim's Army, a collection of former Syracuse basketball stars and other standouts preparing for the 2025 version of the annual TBT, announced via its X page that Jimmy Boeheim, a versatile 6-foot-9 forward, will reside on the team's roster this summer.
Love it. A huge congrats to Jimmy, who will be suiting up for Boeheim's Army for a third time. Boeheim played one season on the Hill, as a graduate student during the 2021-22 stanza when the Orange went 16-17 overall.
In his lone term competing for the 'Cuse, Boeheim averaged 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest while hitting on 46.6 percent from the field, 64.4 percent from the free-throw line and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc.
Forward Jimmy Boeheim has signed on with Boeheim's Army for 2025.
For the past few years, he has been playing abroad. In the most recent season, Boeheim played for BG Gottingen, a German professional squad, where he averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while connecting on 46.2 percent from the field, 78.8 percent from the charity stripe but just 17.0 percent from deep.
Boeheim, though, is a solid 3-point shooter. He's a versatile guy who can play, as well as guard, several positions. Not too long ago, his younger brother, shooting guard Buddy Boeheim, committed to compete for Boeheim's Army this summer for the first time in the 64-team event.
Their father, former Syracuse basketball head coach and Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim, is the Boeheim's Army head coach emeritus this summer, while the team's head coach is Syracuse basketball assistant Allen Griffin.
Businessman and philanthropist Adam Weitsman is serving as chairman of Boeheim's Army, the same role he had in 2021 when the squad captured the $1 million grand prize. To date, the team has six players for its roster this summer.
Five of them are former Syracuse basketball guys. They are the Boeheim brothers, wing Elijah Hughes, big man Chris McCullough and big man Rakeem Christmas. A few days ago, power forward Nick Perkins, a former star at Buffalo who also won a TBT championship in 2022 with Blue Collar U, also came on board as the first non-Syracuse basketball player suiting up for Boeheim's Army this summer.
In the 2025 TBT, Syracuse is one of eight regional sites for the tournament, with games transpiring from July 19 to July 23 at the SRC Arena on the campus of Onondaga Community College.
