    Looks like a good hire. He did quite well at a DII program in the state, should know the region for recruiting.

      Agree with Jacks-02: Denver appears to be committing to making the Summit League better -- two-bid league may be getting closer to reality.

        No, they are committed to making Denver better which will make the Summit better.

          It's interesting that they went to DII, but there are some good coaches who deserve a move up. I think this guy will turn it around.

            JD Gravina at WIU was successfully coaching D2 before arriving at Macomb and AJ was also a successful D2 coach in Brookings. Denver will be a project for the new guy since it may have been awhile since they had some success. As mentioned earlier, the familiarity with the region should give him a head start.

              Didn't USD's new women's coach come from DII as well?

                It may have been 2 jobs ago.

                (I see that she was at Northern Kentucky during DI transition.)

                  If he does a good job recruiting the Denver metro area, I think he'll find success fairly quickly.
