That’s exciting news.
The program is on solid footing and Coach Davis will be in demand soon. Are this year’s sophomores his first class?
This year's sophs are his first class. Imo I don't see ND as being in big demand by programs like the better A-10 schools until he has proven himself more as a recruiter. In his first class - the only one to play a game thus far - he landed two players who have shown they can play and who might be All-PL candidates down the road - but not yet. The current freshmen look promising - but we don't know yet. And this year's recruiting effort is not going as well as we would have liked, although one commitment from the few offers still out there could turn it around.
But thus far no Chris McNaughton, or Charles Lee, or Mike Muscala, or Cam Ayers, or Nana Foulland. He might have to land a player of that caliber to really get on the radar screen for a big jump up in job level and pay. I'm not sure that ND would want to leave Bucknell and Lewisburg - with its cheap cost of living and great environment to raise kids - to take a minor step up the ladder, say to the CAA or a weaker MAC program.
