Message: [QUOTE="l'orange, post: 2130350, member: 123"] I think it is likely a combination of things. JB should have gotten out after his final four run last year but he wasn't ready and thought he had something good lined up for this year. JB now knows that next year is a likely bust. He knows he needs some time to try to turn things around if he wants to end on a high note (which is looking like a daunting task but hey hopefully after the scholarships restrictions are all gone we can make some better progress recruiting). I'm thinking that Hopkins gets wind of this and is feeling like he's been jerked around too much. That coupled with a huge pay raise and Syracuse's mediocre forecast for the next year or two and he makes a smart choice but nonetheless is heartbroken as the guy bleeds orange. I can't shake the feeling that we are really going to regret letting Hop slip through our fingers but time will tell. [/QUOTE]
