Hopefully, he can find us some front line size and athleticism.

No official announcement yet. That story only says they’re close, not that he’s been named.

You are right. Thanks for the correction! Wait for an official announcement.

Officially official

Congrats

What is he making?

for a doomed league in 1a ball those are two solid hires now

Not sure to be honest, but of course LOVE the hire. I imagine the $4.26M from Iowa over the next 3 years helps to bolster his Penn earnings though. :sweat_smile:

He must have a guarantee he can load up on transfers at least

Finally!!!

There has to be some agreement on a manner in which he can get transfers paid, as well.

Fran will be looking to you for that! Remember, schools can’t pay but boosters can.

The pressers for hovde and fran will be interesting.

For the true hoops heads take a watch of will wade at ncsu and Luke loucks at fsu.
I knows its different in the acc but it’s all relative to your conf foes

I think to columbia9’s point a little fundraising and some transfers are part of these gigs now even in our league whether you are an up and comer (hovde) or cementing your legacy (Fran)

Hyp beware.
