Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 2308477, member: 9"] Great takes. Bottom line is that JAB/Hop working USA Basketball doesn't appear to help Cuse at all in recruiting. Some could say it had a negative effect or neutral at best but as far as we know did anyone sign with Syracuse because JAB worked the Olympics. Factor in all of the sanctions at the same time and the fact that we had a few top players royally screw us so it was no surprise that the program had a downturn. Fast forward to March 14, 2017 when Hop leaves Syracuse. People had extremely mixed emotions but a lot has happened in these six months that allay the fans concerns over the future of the program. If JAB will be here for five more years, I think there is no questions that he will be battling for recruits until the very last day (or until the next succession plan is announced). [/QUOTE]
