2006–07

In his sophomore season, Rautins appeared in all 35 of Syracuse's games, including his first career start against Baylor on December 16, 2006.

[5]

Rautins would continue his tear against Seton Hall (26 points on 7–10 shooting from three point land), South Florida (14, 4–8) and DePaul (17, 5–10). In those four games, Rautins would hit a combined 25 3-pointers at a 57 percent clip. [6] Other highlights included Rautins 20 points, and six 3-pointers in the epic six overtime game against Connecticut in the Big East tournament. Rautins played 50 minutes off the bench and made a crucial 3-pointer in the final seconds of the third overtime, forcing a fourth.

2009–10

Rautins would become the full-time starter at shooting guard in his senior season.
