Hopefully he hasn’t been actively recruiting as that would have been an NCAA violation, unless of course he was promoted earlier and they waited till now to make it official.
I know Graham Harrell was out on the recruiting trail before he was officially hired before the 2015 season. In football you can have a set amount of designated recruiters. Probably the same with basketball.
I believe that since there was a vacancy that his status was changed. temporarily. This action just makes the new assignment permanent.he seems energetic and hopefully he proves to be a very good recruiter.
