Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins will officially be named as Jim Boeheim's successor as head coach, multiple sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday.

There is no timetable for Hopkins to replace Boeheim, a Hall of Fame and national championship-winning coach, but Hopkins and the university finally have reached an agreement to put a succession plan in writing. The move has been in the works for months, but final details are being worked out in assistant coach Hopkins' current contract.

An announcement could be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
