Schertz is killing it at SLU this year but I’ve had my eye on him since last season. He was only 19-15 at St. Louis in year 1, but the first year is always an adjustment, and they were at least competitive right away. And he had proven before he was able to quickly remake Indiana State, who had been terrible forever. Before that, he had built Lincoln Memorial into one of the best programs at the D2 level, with multiple final four and title game appearances under his belt. That would’ve been the ideal time to pounce—before SLU got really good and more suitors could potentially materialize. I still think we can get him, because there will likely be less top teams looking for new head coaches this season. But Wildhack is gonna have to do a great sales job.

The sales pitch will be key: The amount of NIL money Syracuse can potentially raise with a successful program, the potential big dog donors who may be sitting on the sidelines with their $$ waiting for a coaching change, the rabid and hungry fanbase across all of upstate New York and nationally, the outsized revenue potential with the Dome and the new renovations, the facilities and planned improvements, the fertile Northeast corridor and mid-Atlantic recruiting grounds to find players (both high school kids and transfers who want to stay closer to home). Get Tirico, Melo and other big-dog stakeholders to talk to him and help sell the program’s potential.
