Time for GMac to earn his paycheck.Need to reel this guy in. In a bad way.
If we do, this class is a home run.

Judging from his outfit and brand new Tahoe I figured he had already somehow.Time for GMac to earn his paycheck.
That just means he spent his paycheckJudging from his outfit and brand new Tahoe I figured he had already somehow.
GMac won’t be why or why not we get this kid. It will be PT and the fact Syracuse is a good school.Time for GMac to earn his paycheck.
It's not fair to pin this on GMac.GMac won’t be why or why not we get this kid. It will be PT and the fact Syracuse is a good school.
I don’t think GMac is a bad recruiter he just isn’t Hop who was an elite recruiter.
hop wasn't hop for the first few years, either.I don’t think GMac is a bad recruiter he just isn’t Hop who was an elite recruiter.
GMac has been an assistant for 5 years.hop wasn't hop for the first few years, either.
great recruiters are made more than born
GMac has been an assistant for 5 years.
He isn’t Hop as a recruiter. It doesn’t mean he is a failure he isn’t Hop who was an elite assistant.
GMac is doing okay.
Name something great Hop did in the beginning of his coaching career that is so much better than what GMac has done. Be specific please.
I’m not speaking on GMac, because I’m not interested in being one of those guys.
But I’m almost positive Hopkins brought in Hakim Warrick, Josh Pace, and Craig Forth in his first class where he was out recruiting. Him and Weaver(taking the place of Fine and Orr) were credited with the uptick in SU recruiting starting with that 2001 class.
I’m not positive but I’m fairly certain Hop rode Weavers coattails in recruiting back then. Also Hop was an assistant starting in 95.
I’m genuinely asking since I was 14 in 2003. But were GMac/Pace/Forth/Hak top 100 guys? I seem to remember Hak being in the top 90 or so but that’s itI’m not speaking on GMac, because I’m not interested in being one of those guys.

Jason Hart was recruited by Hop in first year.Name something great Hop did in the beginning of his coaching career that is so much better than what GMac has done. Be specific please.

Hard to beleve Coach K never heard of him, right?GMac definitely was top 50.
GMac definitely was top 50.
Warrick if I recall had a late, rapid rise from outside the top 100 and ended around 30th.
Forth I don’t think was quite top 100, but he was right around that.
Pace I think was rated reasonably high when he was younger and then was hurt by an injury, and his ranking fell.
Regardless, Hopkins brought in 3/5 of our starting lineup for our title team as soon as he started recruiting.

Hop wasn’t allowed on the road until 2000 - 2001.I’m not positive but I’m fairly certain Hop rode Weavers coattails in recruiting back then. Also Hop was an assistant starting in 95.
Jason Hart was recruited by Hop in first year.
Hart alone is better than any player GMac has brought in his first 5 years.
Hop’s recruiting skills are elite nationally.
GMac isn’t Hop. I don’t need to go thru all the guys Hop brought in.
Our guards all developed for the most part while Hop was coaching them.
untrue.Jason Hart was recruited by Hop in first year.
GMac isn’t going to be the next HC.So Hop started as a first year assistant in 95 and got Jason Heart right out of the gate even though his first year on the road recruiting was 2001.
Let me just say I think highly of both Hop and GMac. I’m just saying don’t count GMac out yet. He’s 35 and he is recruiting for a different Syracuse team and JB.
Lol you are wrong. Yeah Hop had nothing to do with Hart.s
untrue.
this discussion dossn't belong in this thread, especially when you are just making stuff up
/done
GMac people are annoying. I know this isn’t you but the guy isn’t in Hop’s league and I won’t lie I was scared of Hop being the next HC after the 2016 games. I was clearly wrong but I also wasn’t strongly anti-Hop I was just more worried.Hmm.
Hopkins coached some AAU ball in California before being hired at SU though.
