Boeheim is a great coach. I am a huge fan. Syracuse literally could not have gotten luckier.

But ... the idea that everything he says is correct, or an accurate prognostication, is nuts. Boeheim says things. That these things are often wrong doesn't make him less of a coach, but that he is a great coach also doesn't make the things he says unassailable.

"We've got everything. This is the best team I've had in a long time." Is what he said before last years nit season.

"He's the most versatile player this league has seen in a long time." In re Otto porter.

"Next years recruiting class will be the best we've ever had." 2015 (the Malachi/Lydon class, which was very good but nowhere near that good.)

He said something very similar about the 03 class, which ended up a huge disappointment.

On the merits here I would guess Hak added 15-20 lbs in his time at SU. And it looks like he was listed at 219 when he left. So I'm not sure he disproves the idea that md is going to need to bulk up to be something more than a valuable energy/role player.
