Andy Rautins was a smooth shooting big guard with good all around basketball skills.
Rautins was not highly recruited out of high school, deemed by many to be too small and slow for Division 1. He was the son of Leo Rautins, legendary player of the early '80s who had also played for coach Jim Boeheim. As a junior in high school, he led Jamesville-Dewitt to a New York State Class A state championship with a 29-0 record. Because his father was Canadian, he had dual citizenship. He was named to the Canada World University Games squad after high school.
As a freshman, Rautins displayed strong basketball awareness, and had a nice shooting touch. However, he was lacking strength and he did not play as much as his classmates, sitting behind senior Gerry McNamara (who rarely was out of the game), fellow freshman Eric Devendorf and sophomore Josh Wright. He did play fifteen minutes versus South Florida, scoring 10 points on 3-5 shooting from three point range.
Rautins started his sophomore season as the designated perimeter shooter coming off the bench when the game situation demanded it. He struggled in that role, finding it difficult to get his perimeter touch going. In early December, Eric Devendorf was struggling with some off the court issues, and the Orange offense was struggling. Boeheim inserted Rautins into the starting lineup, and the offense started to flow a little better with the presence of an additional perimeter shooter on the court (join Demetris Nichols who was becoming a star). Rautins was still struggling to find a consistent scoring touch, though he was showing a sound ability to play the zone defense well.
Syracuse was struggling to get wins and needed to play well down the stretch, and Rautins was suddenly hot from the perimeter. Starting in a loss against Notre Dame, he would shoot 54% from three point range over an eight game period, hitting 29 of 54 three point attempts. Rautins made a strong case to return as a starter his junior season.
Rautins made the Canadian national team the summer after his sophomore year, and was playing for his father who was the head coach. Against Brazil in the Tournament of Americas, Rautins would injure his knee, tearing the ACL in his left knee, and miss the entire 2007-08 season.
