Message: [QUOTE="iommi, post: 2454368, member: 249"] It did. I'm not going to say recruits passed us over just because of the uncertainty but recruits and their coaches knew about it and I'm quite sure it was a factor. This doesn't prove anything but is an interesting anecdote nonetheless: a prominent NJ high school coach told me when Hop was still at SU that the coach/ his players THOUGHT the plan was for Hop to take over. His expression, body language and tone suggested more than a little ambiguity. The coach has a solid relationship with SU, just to be clear. He wasn't saying the situation was bad but it was clear no one knew exactly what the succession plan was. [/QUOTE]
