Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1969566, member: 87"] The only way I can see it hurting is that GMac was named lead recruiter on some of these guys. That was probably done because Hopkins would be out for part of this summer with Team USA. No doubt that was a big step up in responsibility for Gerry because we were swinging for the fences with the level guys we were after. Now looking at Quade, I honestly don't think Hopkins could have done anything different than Gerry did on that one. Maybe he could have convinced him to sign earlier in the summer with us, but if it came down to the wire like it did, we were getting boned no matter who was the lead. That said - I still think there is an equal benefit to Hopkins being able to talk to kids about he has coached the top names in the NBA. That means something to these guys. [/QUOTE]
