That's the best stroke of luck we've gotten in years. Year or two difference, couple retirements, etc. and SU may have competed with a lot of really good programs. Let's not screw it up.
Maybe Cuse2023 is the Shark!
Yeah, and I think that we will get it right. Let's face it, if not for the 30 million there would have been no discussion right from the jump. Melo or no Melo. However, once again, I think the first call BH has to make is to Melo. I want that money for NIL. Whatever number it really is.
You may not be able to share this info. But do you believe Goodrich is one of the top AD contenders? How about Theodorakis? Anyone else you’ve heard is in the mix?
For some perspective here - these are the brands we would've gone up against last year for the top candidates:
4 interviews today
Exactly, tired of hearing how SU is little sisters of the poor in some peoples minds
Correct
Do you know if Tirico is back stateside and doing his DD?
I think I just woke up angry so apologizes it’s just getting really frustrating seeing alot of the same stuff repeated over and over and it’s like a bad case of Déjà vu of the last 10 years or so. We heard similar stuff during the fading years of JB, heard similar stuff when we wanted a national search and not anyone in house. We’ve heard it during the entire failure of the red Autry era and we’re hearing it now. No one needs to hear Syracuse propoganda and hypotheticals we’re all adults and Syracuse fans. Do you not think it doesn’t get naeuseating for people on the BH side seeing “oh he was pac-12 coach the the year” and other similar quoteables everyday without the actual context behind it? But yeah it’s only one side sure. The extremes on both sides get extremely annoying and frustrating. If you don’t argue for Hopkins half the people here automatically assume us peons are mere uneducated pesesnts who shouldn’t walk the same earth. But on the flip side I definitely understand the sentiment of how annoying and frustrating it gets with the “it’s only persona” people and the people who think “oh it’s simple just sign BH”. Like clearly and obviously it’s not simple and straight forward I try to block those people out of my mind while also assuming most people here have a general idea of what they’re talking about going into a conversation with them. So Yeah I’ve seen you mentioned in other posts youve said you don’t want hopkin but guess what? if im oblivious you’re just as much because you dont realize that some of the things you say are by default supportive without you realizing it really I guess so you just end up playing both sides. To act like its insane to get all the pushback against hop right now is crazy to me. Thats the exact reason it is this loud because that’s what the “ outside hire” side needs to do, it’s basically social protesting.
Might not matter; devil is always in the details and especially financials.
The fact that BH runs a program styled for the NBA has to be appealing to Melo if he takes off the JB blinders and accepts that Kiyan may not be guaranteed PT on a stacked roster.
The Craftsman is going to be hopping tonight! I might have to stop into the bar and get a manhattan.
No offense but 90% of the board including me agrees with you, it's just repetition of what we all know on the basketball court.
Thanks for sharing this. Im a little astounded by some of the posters asserting that we can’t compete with some of the schools on the market and that Hodgson might go elsewhere. As you’ll see in my post above, some of the other open jobs at SEC and Big12 schools have other options they will likely be courting, other schools like Ohio State may not open at all (Oregon is also unlikely), and other schools have financial and other limitations. It’s not like Kentucky, UNC or even Villanova is looking for a coach this year. We are possibly the top or one of the top jobs on the market, as I showed in what Matt Norlander posted. It’s bizarre. We have a top 5 candidate on the market who actually wants to be here. I can’t believe we might actually screw this up and go with a failed retread that will get us roasted by other coaches and the national media (at least behind the scenes and on the recruiting trail), especially when they find out we hired Hop over Hodgson. Look, maybe Hop will work out and will come in with a fresh vision and a compelling blueprint about everything he learned and will change from his previous tenure, but I think that’s wishful thinking. I love the guy and all he did for Syracuse. But the risk is too high to hire him based on the evidence of his failed vision and schemes at Washington.
Whoa! now that's a insider comment. I can prob guess who 3 of them are, did Bulldong04 make the cut as the 4th?
Thanks for sharing and I find that to be excellent news.
People have quick pivoted before after signing at a place, would agree.
