Re: UNH 2018 Offseason- Out with the old , in with the semi new?
Agree. I would just repeat that while other programs with a new coach (Mich State/Wisc/U.Mass/etc) flood the team with too many players the first year, and ethical debate about cutting guys, UNH is in the unique situation of looking for players to fill out the roster for his first year. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes, just that the scenes we see are atypical.
Again, we agree that a recruiting assistant is critical, and we will have to wait for the Jets to be eliminated. I'd note, again, that it seems unusual for a team with a new Head Coach being in a position of waiting on the third coach before they can fill immediate recruiting needs.
And to Dan's point, I guess that filling out this class is less urgent, because presumably Souza and Stewart have that planned. What is more important is getting back on the right side of recruiting, not playing catch up after the fact, but getting commitments from the 02s and 03s who will form the foundation for the future, with space to fill around the edges. Having not secured that foundation in 2015 to 2018 (or of having misjudged the core, a la Miller and Green on D) has put them in this current position. We need a guy who can get that foundation.

I would agree that in the event the new assistant is indeed who we think it is, his obligations are elsewhere at the moment. Don't forget we have two other coaches in place...
