I know he has hired the baseball and woman's basketball coach. Anybody else?
I expected a little better in baseball in year 2.

Woman's BB - I like some of the pieces but they really miss another big body underneath. Coach made the mistake of saying that we could contend sooner rather than later.

To be fair to Lisa Carlson, the big she was counting this year ((Augusta) has been out all year with bad knees. Her career is over

To be even fairer to Lisa, her team probably has overachieved this year....maybe even more than the men. That team was a disaster last year...talent, injuries, the whole nine yards. Of course a coach is going to say they are going to contend sooner than later. Overall depth isn't there, but they are better.

Kunigonis has his first set of recruits on the team just this year. He signed on before the 2015 season but after the 2015 class was signed, a very tough situation. You pretty much have to consider this year one for him.

Edit: I stand corrected, it's even worse than that. He came here before the 2015 season but after the 2016 class had signed so here in year two he has only a couple of his own recruits on the team. He doesn't get to work with his own full class of recruits until the 2017 season.

And I believe his first real recruiting class is the highest rated class in the MAC.

Interesting!
