Gonzaga earlier this week extended a scholarship offer to Buddy Boeheim, but most considered it a foregone conclusion he would play for his father, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim.

Buddy Boeheim has confirmed as much in an interview with ESPN.com.

“We’re going to try and win it all together and end his career with a national championship,” Buddy said. “I’m not going anywhere else. I just want to wait and get the AAU season over with before I make the decision. I think I probably have to tell him to make it official.”

The 6-foot-5 wing has one more high school season. Schools have expressed more interest in Boeheim after his solid showing at the Nike Peach Jam last weeked. Boeheim’s AAU coach heard from North Carolina State, Georgetown, Penn State, Northeastern and George Washington.
