JB wasn't letting Hop run the show.
As Dasher said 2 weeks ago he isn't the same man energy wise when he was in 40s/50s as he is now.
JB hasn't been giving the Hopkins the show to run if he was Hop could have put some man to man defense in like he wants too now at Washington. Or let Hopkins put some different rinkles into then offense. All Hop did was what JB used to do.
JB is/was like a tenured professor who gives work off to research assistant because they don't want to do the work.
JB has done more travel for USA basketball in one summer flying to just Las Vegas(not the travel overseas either) than he has been to recruiting at AAU events during the past few years.
Hopkins and Autry do/did all the grunt work and JB was expected to close.

This is why we don't go after the top talent because those guys want the indisputable amount of love it takes.

Thankfully since Hop left JB got a plane down to Atlanta and saw Tucker. He will visit and we can close him. Their isn't a narrative JB was handing off responsibility to Hop it that is cover you want to say to defend the fact JB has been lazy.

He is going to have up his recruiting game a lot if all we do is hire Allan Griffin.
