We have no idea. Don't know if Hopkins would even want to return to Syracuse if given the opportunity to take over in a few years, after what happened a couple of years ago. Hop is from the West Coast and seems to be doing very well (even if it's only been 1 year so far). He has young kids, and moving cross country two times within a few years with a family is tough, even if SU were to offer him more money.
On the flip side, he was aruably Syracuse's main (and best) recruiter for nearly 20 years. His connections on the East Coast and Northeast run far and deep. When it appeared that he was ~12 months away from taking over at SU, he said he would mix up the 2-3 zone with M2M and press defenses, while recruiting the same type of players. I think he could succeed at SU. It's a matter of 1) will the new AD Wildhack do a national HC search and try to get a guy like Buzz Williams (just an example), go for a young up and coming head coach, or would be value Hop's familiarity with Syracuse/Northeast and value his likely long-term commitment to the program.
tl;dr - we have no idea who will be the SU coach in 3-4 years
