Message: [QUOTE="Hopkins16, post: 5335881, member: 3893"] Hopkins was the perfect replacement for JB years ago, but JB screwed him over. Hop was great with recruits and could have closed on a lot of guys that we eventually missed on (he did get SU recruits Isaiah Stewart and Hamier Wright to join him at Washington, and Quade Green after he left UK). After Red, we should go outside the family and get the best coach available. I don't think we need to totally clean house of our current assistants if they hold value in recruiting (Straughn?) or in other areas. I love the idea of keeping it in the family but it just hasn't worked out well for us so it is time to move on from that. [/QUOTE]
