I think a big part of who you bring in these days also comes with who comes with you. What kind of players and talent do you bring over to pair with anyone you successfully recruit to stay. I’m not sure there is much to get excited about at this level he has now. Doty and Folefac are nice players at that level but not sure if they are more than bench pieces at an ACC level for a team that wants to urgently return to national contention.

Who comes with also refers to the financial side. Obviously based on the known rift with Lally there would possibly be issues if Gerry sought to try and have Weitsman back in the fold since he worked with him at Siena. I think this and the aforementioned is the big question mark on recruiting.

Tonight was impressive given he coached against someone whose star is going to get brighter in short order given the pedigree an obvious ability to find talent at Iona. Geriot will be a P4 coach in not too long I’d wager on it.

I said it before being born and raised in NEPA and in Gerry’s class that it would be incredible to see him come full circle an be successful. To me there is still work to do on his part as a coach and recruiter both even if the former shows a lot of promise early on. I’d like to see how he navigates finishing the season and then the pressure of the conference tournament with a team having expectations to possibly win it now.
