I think this is an intriguing hire and Evans has built up a lot of connections over the years. I do see this and say, “Why wasn’t it him or something like this last year?” The promotion of Barnes at the time was a head-scratcher. We’ll see how this all goes, but it should help on the recruiting trail. Smith has three intriguing hires, but with everything I hear, it’s still going to take a prayer to not have the boosters continue to push to buy him out after next year.
