Gbinije's old AAU coach, Adrian Autry, is now an assistant coach at Syracuse.

This transfer really rubs me the wrong way. I'm sure that K gave G the go ahead to pursue Syracuse if that's where he was thinking, but I have a suspicion that this coach likely had a lot to do with it, whether it be from a "hey, I know you, you're going to play, I promise" situation or just from a comfort level. This would look fishy if G were going there with Autry straight out of high school, and I'm not really fond of it right now.
I hold no animosity towards Mike, I hope he's happy at Cuse, but I also didn't really have any strong positive feelings toward him as a Dukie, but after this, I find myself feeling absolutely nothing for the kid, 100% neutral.
This transfer, because of the fact that its going to be in-conference and that his old coach works there now, really irks me.
