I would like to think we would not hire an assistant just to land a transfer of Leffew's non-elite caliber. Schools have definitely done it to land elite talent before, and depending on the player, it could be worth it. I don't think that's what happened here.
I do think it's pretty reasonable to expect that when you hire the kid's head coach to join you and there's mutual interest before that between us and him, you'd think it's pretty much a slam dunk. If we actually lose him to Villanova, Xavier, or whatever, it will look a little embarrassing.
End of the world? Not at all, but it won't be a good look.
Maybe.. but if they drop a ridiculous bag out of desperation, especially with Bamba leaving now it is what it is. Their roster looks like a bottom half A10 squad right now even if they add Leffew.
