Not going to debate the earlier stuff in this post because people around here love to kill the messenger if they read things they don't want to hear, but you do raise quite a few valid points in your second paragraph. I'm not sure many people realize how important Hopkins has been to Boeheim's success over the last 20 years.

Everything you raise about recruiting is true, but I'll take it a step further and point out that from an organizational standpoint Mike has had an inordinately large proportion of the day-to-day responsibilities of running the program compared to what most #2 guys have. He has also been instrumental to keeping the team running by being the guy in charge of the off court stuff. Boeheim has a completely laissez-faire approach to what his players do off the court and I worry about what will happen without Mike around. Mike was no disciplinarian, but he sure cleaned up a lot of messes over the years.
