News broke this morning that long-time Syracuse basketball assistant Mike Hopkins would be taking the vacant head coaching position at the University of Washington.

Immediately, many thought of SU’s current and future recruits and how the move will affect the program.

“I’m happy for coach Hop, but I’m solid to Syracuse,” Class of 2017 signee Oshae Brissett told TNIAAM.

The Orange’s newest commitment, 6-foot-3 point guard Howard Washington, will also stay true to his pledge to SU.

“It doesn’t affect it, he’s completely sold on Syracuse,” a source with knowledge of the situation said.
