Brenden Straughn has been hired from George Washington, where he was an assistant coach. Straughn was also the lead recruiter for Adrian Autry’s son, Trey, so it would be clear that he’s someone Autry trusts and can provide him with an “outside voice” as he shapes the Syracuse program in his image.
