Isaiah Stewart, a Class of 2019 five-star prospect out of Rochester, N.Y., weighed in on Mike Hopkins moving on the the University of Washington on Sunday afternoon in an interview with TNIAAM.
Stewart, who received an offer from the Orange back in August at the Elite camp, has had high interest in Syracuse for a while. Mike Hopkins had watched him play at McQuaid Jesuit a few times, and the two were developing quite the relationship with who Stewart, at the time, thought would be Boeheim’s successor.
“Coach Hop was a big reason on why I liked the program so much,” Stewart said.
