Put me in the court that doesn’t care when he starts. The big thing was getting a coach named and not letting it drag out.  Yes he is not 100% dedicated to Syracuse at this time; but everyone knows who the coach is and he is probably working on our stuff 50% of the time.  JW hired him because of what he thinks he can do for our program; bot what he gets done in the first 30 days on the job.  I’m not really concerned what he does in the short term.

Right now he has to figure out his coaches. I’m sure based on who his agent is, and to have actually been hired, he has a firm layout of who his staff will consist of.  I am sure he already has spoken to most of these people and has an understanding.  Some of them may decline based on financials. But right now, I’m sure most of it is negotiation contracts.  If someone drops out, I would assume he has a plan B already lined up.  I would be extremely disappointed if he was hired without having all of this basic principles figured out.

Onto recruiting and transfer portal.  Transfer portal isn’t even fully open yet. And again we don’t even have a staff to help recruit or contact players.  That is almost more important because although kids want to play for him, they need to know who the coaches are and that may change.  Plus, with the short notice of the change we are going to be handcuffed in our recruiting freshman and this year will most likely be more portal kids than flipping kids.  This team and his future is not going to be defined by his first high school recruiting class.
