Could we lose another assistant?  Not great timing for us

Army: Zak Boisvert is gaining a lot of traction. Carl Little and Kevin Kuwik also in the mix.

Rising has made the point that retaining assistants is really tough at GW, so the program needs to get really good at replacing them. Karl Hobbs built an insanely good staff with Kevin Broadus, Darrell Brooks and Steve Pikiell, all of whom went on to become head coaches at varying levels. Their replacements were perfectly fine, but not at that level.

Chris Caputo seems to be about as keyed in to college basketball as anyone, so knowing who to call to replace assistants certainly won't be a problem. Convincing them to come is going to be hugely important.

When Assistant Coaches move on to get promoted, that's generrally a sign that something is very right with the program they are leaving.  While not meaning to undermine the value of the relationships that recruiters strike with some players, it's important to note that most players make a decision to play for a head coach.  Also working in our favor is that CC isn't Calipari-like where he's completely out of the recruiting picture until it's time to close the deal.  I know that CC attends many high school and presumably AAU games, and has a more direct, hands-on approach to selling GW on recruits than a head coach who's been at this fror decades and would rather delegate.

This is another way of saying that if or when we lose Brendan and Zak, CC will fill those slots with other very capable coaches (I suspect that Cooper Handelsman would be next in line without even having to go out-of-house.  Lamont Franklin is also a possibility though I am unsure if he would want his role changed.).  That said, Rising's words should not be ignored.  If retaining assistant coaches becomes a systemic problem, then this needs to be rectified if we ever hope to have a consistently successful program.   

Good news for the recruiting front, I would think
