However, after reading a lot about Wes and seeing that press conference I'm pretty optimistic on the future. What he does in the next month will either solidify or soften that take, but I'm thinking good things are going to happen with recruiting based on his personality. The real question is why didn't we hire him two years ago?

He's clearly from my view a better overall fit for what this program needs given it's market and spot in college bball. His story and results are almost something out of a novel, and i do think this program needs a salesman for a lot of reasons. How quickly he can get results in terms of wins and losses at the juncture is going to play out in the next 60 days. If he can pull some kids we would not have otherwise gotten he might surprise. However, i believe in time he will recruit at a very solid level as he settles in.
