As Rencher gets his feet planted and is able to develop relationships and close on guys - we have a pretty great one two recruiting punch.
Lusk may be a bit underrated on the trail too as he seems to be doing OK with some MW guys.
Love me some DRock, Lutz, etc from staffs of yore - but this current staff IMO is strongest of the Mac era - and one of our best in history.
+1 to this and to Ethanfor3's note also! Jacob said something after Epperson got hurt about seeing Mac's vision for the team (paraphrasing there), but I think we're seeing a recruiting effort that is building a long term vision for this team and that can keep putting talent in place in order to get to the top 10. I am pretty blown away by the difference between the roster this year (even with TSA moving on) compared to the first year in the Big East.
We may be missing a recruiter who can go into the East Coast cities and pull kids, but that's always going to be a difficult sell for us. With this staff we have an International Recruiter (Huss), MIdwest Recruiter (Mac and Lusk), and a Oklahoma/Texas recruiter (Rencher).
Rencher grew up in NY, so may have some ties there, and can certainly give a case for why a kid might want to leave the East Coast and play elsewhere, and Mac's a strong recruiter overall as well.
And, this is a really solid bunch of coaches for practice and games. I especially love the Mac/Lusk combination for Offense and Defense..
