Two 1st round picks this decade for a team in the OVC is definitely something to write home about to me.
Xavier hasn't had a 1st round pick this decade and Villanova has had 1. In fact they would be tied with Creighton for the most 1st rounders to date since 2010 in the Big East.
For playing in a Conference that's ranked 20 or lower pretty consistently it's an amazing feat.
There's real value in getting an assistant from a program that's been consistently been to able to ID diamonds in the rough. Raw salesmanship is important in recruiting but for where Dayton is in a program it's pretty important to be able figure out whether the 2-3 star guys the program usually gets is the next Stephen Thomas or Brian Roberts
I have no idea what kind of pool of money AG is working with or whether he wants to hire a guy he's got connections too but I'd like to see someone who's done well at a successful mid major program
