Yeah agreed and add in on top of the crazy strong NJ cred that this is very much a unicorn hire for Syracuse with allot of right place, right time as well. We grabbed a highly connected guy for HC and who is an alpha recruiter, who was highly connected enough to pull in another alpha recruiter, coach Elijah, that resulted in pulling in another alpha recruiter Nick Williams. With two of those guys being available at the same time due to significant changes at their prior programs. The odds of hitting that trifecta are pretty low. Also time for people to give Wildhack some credit. Went chips all in on this while fighting a board contingent who wanted someone else (per board insiders) and sweet talking the donors to pony up.I mean making in roads and trying to establish a pipeline to NJ is so much easier said than done. You either have the history, long term relationships and the street cred so to speak or you don't. Hiring one assistant versus a HC and and 3 key assistants who can cover the state are two totally different things. Syracuse went all in and the early results look to be very positive to say the least. The message is being heard loud and clear. What were Dino and Shafer actually ever going to get done in NJ? Like fighting a fire with a garden hose. Dino was a carpet bagger whose true roots were out West. Shafer a midwest guy. These guys are South NJ through and through. Nunzio-North NJ. I mean a couple years I would think the majority of our roster will be NJ kids rather easily
