Syracuse Hires Kimani Young, Dan Hurley Protege, as New Head Coach - Queens Today

The Syracuse basketball program has hired Kimani Young, a protege of UConn head coach Dan Hurley, as its new head coach. Young, a New York City native, led the Huskies to national championships in 2023 and 2024 as an assistant coach. He will now take over a Syracuse team that has struggled in...

Wrong assistant. We need Murray not Young if we go that route.

I also wouldn’t be shocked if one of the major donors funding the USF package for BH is JL.

I have no idea whether that's true or not, but if it somehow was, his name should come off Manley immediately.

Def in the mix. The problem is the donors. Who will they support. If Lally is out then it’s gotta be AW on some big level and his allegiance is elsewhere. Hand is forced

Hah just said this. You beat me. You Don’t screw with snowbirds comfort in Florida especially with the money they have ha.

Is there no link to watch this 10:00 press conference?

 

[OptimusOtto]

The anger is at Boeheim and the reality is if it is Gerry or Hop, the fan base will turn on them. Boeheim screwed this up by not leaving in 2018. This is why we are where we are.

I know it didn't work at Washington but I really believe if we followed the original plan of Boeheim --> Hop on the original or similar timeline (i.e. 2016 - 2018) that it would've worked. Hop had the relationships and fear as one of the best recruiters on the east coast, think moving across the country killed him from that perspective. Hoping cooler heads prevail and realize that was a decade ago, if they wanted Hop back that badly should have brought him in 2023 instead of Red.

If you're going to subject us to this trolling and act like you have inside info, redeem yourself by sharing the info. Then die on that hill if it's wrong.

Metaphorically, of course

Bro, I promise you I have no inside info and have never represented having inside info. I have no connections to anybody on the hill or any candidates. I am literally just a guy that likes SU hoops and thought Hodgson was a bad choice. Reasonable minds can differ on the best path forward

 

[Starman]

Depending on who the next HC is, is doesn't matter if Hodgson walked away or we did. If Gerry or Hopkins end up as HC, then we either can't attract a good coach or we can't identify a good coach. Neither options exactly give me the warm fuzzies.

I'm trying to not panic until an actual head coach is named, but it certainly isn't looking good.

 

[PhatOrange]

Sporting News put out an article a couple of days ago predicting this hire as well.

I wouldn’t call it trashing but I did take a lot of shrapnel going against the well-organized and vocal Friends of Bryan contingency of the board. Which do you think persuaded the AD the most: calling BH a goofball, the nickname Baby Shark Hodgson, the nickname The Guppy, or using the ‘angry’ emote on the pro-Hodgson posts????

But seriously folks, we should all be investing in new sunglasses because SU Hoops future is bright!!!!!

Victim mentality. You were a passive aggressive little…..

Okay, Hop

But seriously.

I hope his agent is giving you a cut for all of the embarrassment you have brought on yourself here.

Recruiting didn't hurt Hop initially at UW FWIR. It was his offensive system that let him down then once the talent dried up, he was toast

According to my limited research, there has NEVER been a MAAC coach that has been hired directly to a Power conference school from the MAAC. The jump would be massive if its Gmac...

(Besides Pitino from Iona to St John's, but that really doesnt coun

 

[chadvader]

After doing some digging I think my number one guy is John Groce. I'd actually rank him about Hodgson as he already has P4 coaching experience before jumping back to the MAC with big time success there. Only making $650k so could be in line for big pay bump to jump to Syracuse, and has live in midwest his whole life so Syracuse climate shouldn't bother him that much.

I’d rather have hop or gmac this keeps getting worse

We really need a head coach and not an assistant coach I just can’t understand why you’d go the assistant coach route again after this disaster

There's no way in hell I'm reading the last 48 pages (since 6pm last night).
What time did you guys wake up this morning, my goodness

You just don't want it bad enough

Curious how the same agent for Hodgson, GMac and Hop finesses things.

I believe if HOP was coach in 2018 he would still be coaching. Also, if it did not work out we could have taken care of it sooner. BUt our good ole Jimmy B had to play DADDY BALL

They should announce Thursday during tournament. Nobody will cover it.

Does it truly matter? There’s going to be minimal coverage anyways, we’re completely irrelevant.

 

[benjams77]

Do GMac supporters not realize what a massive, massive jump the MAAC is to the ACC? This all reeks.

It’s a huge jump but let’s be honest the jump from a really down American Conf wasn’t jus a tiny step for BH
