Do we really know this though?

I think he has the capability to be a good, not great, recruiter. But does that really make you a tremendous assistant coach?

From 2011-16, he was a recruiter on staff. He probably was lead on Jerami Grant & helped us get Gbinije from Duke. Very good pulls. Then probably Chris McCullough due to NYC ties (bust).

From that point forward, the DMV & NYC guys (his areas of strength) we got were Frank Howard (meh), Andrew White (transfer, one year, good), Taurean Thompson (yuck/transferred), Elijah Hughes (good), Jalen Carey (yuck/transferred), Alan Griffin (meh/forced out), Woody Newton (meh/transferred), Kadary Richmond (good/transferred), Benny Williams (yuck), Maliq Brown (good/transferred), Judah Mintz (good but polarizing), Kyle Cuffe (meh), Justin Taylor (yuck/transferred).

Not all that impressive. Probably had some involvement in others but even so, since he has taken a larger role on staff the program has plummeted. People blame Boeheim a lot, but they're a coaching staff. Shared blame, and a lot of that was Jimmy's and Joe's (and honestly, still is - even though I do think we could have won more games with this collection).
