Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 2572133"] Some little kid – below is a summary of what he did while here. It's either Hopkins or Gerry. Gerry has a VERY HIGH BB IQ – so do not count him out count him IN. I think he would be a great H.C. for us. Who else are you gonna get besides these two? Hopkins seems very comfortable at U.W. and has been successful already. I think it would be a stretch to get him back. Mike had great patience waiting for his time to come and finally made a choice which seems great for him. Gerry is very comfortable at SU and I am very comfortable with Gerry. He knows JB's offenese and defense with his eyes closed. And, will come into his own as soon as JB leaves. He'll be here for a long time if successful. A prime choice IMHO. He is an outstanding talent who doesn't take any crap from anyone. He knows guards , forwards, BIGS and how to have his assistants coach them. More power to him! McNamara started all 135 games he played in his four years and graduated with a degree in Communication and Rhetorical Studies in May 2006. A 2006 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press'][U]Associated Press[/U][/URL] Honorable Mention All-American, McNamara was named by Big East head coaches to the league's All-Freshman team in 2003, to the All-Big East second team in 2004 and to the All-Big East first team in 2005 and 2006. His career statistics rank among the greats in Syracuse's school history. He finished fourth in points scored (2,099), first in minutes played (4781), second in steals (258), third in assists (648), first in three-point shots made (400) and attempted (1,131), and first in career free-throw percentage (89.1%). In 63 career Big East games, McNamara set conference records for three-pointers made (183) and career free-throw percentage (91.7%). His 400 career three-pointers ranked sixth all-time in NCAA history. McNamara was also named the 2006 winner of the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_Hilton_Player_of_the_Year_Award'][U]Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award[/U][/URL]. The award is presented annually by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to a senior Division I men's player who demonstrates outstanding character, leadership, and talent. McNamara left Syracuse as one of the most beloved players in Orange basketball history; his final regular-season game at the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Dome'][U]Carrier Dome[/U][/URL] on March 5, 2006, was the arena's first-ever advance sellout for a basketball game. The final attendance of 33,633, at that time an all-time NCAA record for an on-campus regular-season game, included more than 3,000 fans—dubbed "McNamara's Band" by the media—from the Scranton area (according to media reports more than 60 buses made the two-hour trip from Scranton to Syracuse for the game).Among those people coming up from Scranton were McNamara's parents, who were in attendance for every game in his college career.Syracuse lost the game to highly ranked [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villanova_University'][U]Villanova University[/U][/URL]; McNamara led all scorers with 29 points.
