Andy Rautins isn't the only son of a former Syracuse University Orangeman with a chance to play international ball this off-season.
Daniel Hackett, a sophomore at the University of Southern California and the son of onetime SU star Rudy Hackett, is among 14 finalists for the Italian National Team. The Italian squad is preparing to play in the FIBA European Championships, which is that region's version of the FIBA Americas Tournament, which is going on right now in Las Vegas.
Here's a link to a story in the Los Angeles Times.
If Hackett does make the Italian team, let's hope the experience turns out better for him than it did for Andy Rautins.
