Here we go. I know the timeline, as I posted (and people agreed with) on another thread.

[B]Using your reasoning (and the person who was upset at an earlier post):[/B]
Kline just sits in his office 11 months a year and has/had no input on the team during the season. He's the "GM", which means "advanced scout", unlike Andrew Luck and/or Stephen Curry.

He uses analytics to identify the best players who will absolutely come to Syracuse because we're a destination, like the Knicks. Just like James Dolan, Syracuse has unlimited funds (up to the salary cap) to spend on high school recruits and transfers.

"A new position, the general manager supports Coach Autry in managing various aspects of the men’s basketball program at Syracuse. The primary responsibilities include scouting and recruiting, former student-athlete engagement, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, transfer portal management, and institutional fundraising in collaboration with University Advancement.
 
In 2016, Kline became a basketball operations assistant with the New Orleans Pelicans of the NBA. During four-plus years with the Pelicans, Kline assisted with college scouting and player evaluation. He provided information used for the NBA Draft and free agency.
 
Kline was hired as a scout by the Knicks in 2020."
