Won’t probably happen. GMac is lead recruiter...smh. I don’t get it. The kids not a guard either. If Red was on him would like chances better.

Hearing they might want to play together. I have NO faith in Gmac. Name me one top recruit that he's landed for Syracuse since he's become the lead. If Red were lead recruiter, we would have SO many more top kids here. I still have no idea how GMac got anointed after Hop left.

The Q. Green fiasco comes to mind. Kept telling JB he's coming and look what happened. Then the Dior Johnson saga. Should have NEVER pursued this kid. Like me and others said he wants to go to the league asap, plus think he's a bit of a head case too. There are others I can't think of we've struck on out as well but he should NOT be our lead recruiter. Red should be it. He's brought in more talent than GMac has.

That's interesting to read - I don't always follow the recruiting closely enough to know who is doing the recruiting. I've been underwhelmed a lot lately - who signed Benny?

Some of it not GMac’s fault. When the HC sends GMac constantly to go up against other teams’ head coaches it’s a losing battle. Dior wasn’t going to come here and Quade well just was swayed last second most likely with a bag from one of Calipari’s operators behind the scenes. Probably WWW. JB and the staff put all their eggs into the Quade basket and almost seems like they did the same with Dior not learning their lesson. It probably will cost us JJ Starling and others. From what I understand, as a recruiter, a guy like Hopkins just has a ton more energy and personality. As a coach it’s different on the court as GMac seems pretty energetic and animated.

I believe it was Red Yeah, may be time to reassess things if Red is the one pulling in the players. We need more consistency. I always feel like we don't hit up Canada nearly as well as we should. We haven't even been in on some good ones from what I can gather. That should be a nice pipeline for us.

That's what I've heard about GMac not the greatest personality wise like Hop. In regards to Green, he kept insisting to JB that he was coming but got fooled at the end. Should have given him a deadline to make a decision and if not move in and it cost us like usual.

QG and OB were both from Canada and worked out pretty good although would have like to seen OB stay one more year but understood his family situation and had to do what was best for him. So far it's panned out.

I met GMac at driver's village once, maybe 5-6 years ago and I can tell you from personal experience that he's a cocky prick. Nothing unusual from my end just a simple hello and a quick comment about something, I can't remember. On the other end of the spectrum Hopkins couldn't be more kind and respectful as I've met him several times and he came to know me.

Seemed quiet and reserved but he was a freshmen then. Got hooked up to meet all the players thanks to one of the parents. It was really neat. First time I met him as well. Down to earth and cool guy. He had Dayshwan Wright with him, who was local kid we were recruiting at the time. Gotta a picture with them. The other time met him was near Manny’s as Tyus Battle was in town that weekend. Told Hop to reel him in and he said all you guys need to show Tyus some love so we did. Got picture with Tyus too. Had a good feeling after that Tyus was coming to Syracuse.
