Someone tell us something good

 

[Whitey23]

Ummm

 

[PauliePeppas]

Someone tell us something good

Means Leffew is 100000% coming and recruiting in DMV just got even better

I like this hire a lot. DMV recruiting ties and a proven coach.

 

[M2MPrinciples]

Can he develop guys?

 

[djorange1989]

Nice hire by Red. As mentioned, DMV connection, a good experienced head coach who can help Red grow and in the short term, should be the final confirmation that Leffew is coming

 

[PauliePeppas]

No idea what this means…

Maybe the "Haves" are schools that can hire Head Coaches down to Assistant level.

That makes sense

Any guesses: is he an offensive guy. Defensive. What do we know about his recruiting at D-1 level.
Seems curious hire both ways. I assume there is a secret sauce?

Well, that is what Brenden was for. We should already have the DMV. I have to say, I am surprised.

 

[Biaxtar]

I feel like this hire is more for coaching experience then recruiting.

 

[Scott11]

I love going outside the family to bring in some new ideas and not having the that's the way we've always done it approach. A former head coach with that type of experience will have strong ideas and hopefully will help Red on the offensive end. Sounds like another recruiter which is always nice. Plus he will know our new pg.

He can recruit, Maryland wanted em as well (for DMV) seems like a defensive guy

I think you may be right.

If he is a defensive guy, that would make me smile.
