[QUOTE="BuddyJ, post: 1304729, member: 159164"] I agree with you, and Chin would be a very interesting hire and I'd be excited to see what he can do. There is something to be said about hiring someone who has proven it at this level though. Plus, as we found out recently, hiring an assistant doesn't guarantee any prospects. Ayo would be great, but its a tough sell. He's got a lot of bodies in front of him. While he's potentially better than them all, there isn't any clear path to playing time in his first two years. Will hiring his coach help? Probably. Will it help with Chicago recruits in general? Probably. But it won't matter unless we win, and if we win, the Chicago recruits are going to start wanting to come here regardless of if we hire one of their guys. Winning is the key to all of it. [/QUOTE]
