Will be fun to see if he turns it around.
I don't think I've seen a coach from the Tjeerdsmas tree, with the exception of Svobodas time in D1, do impressive things once leaving NW.
Svoboda has done ok at UCM, but, the other 2 who attempted MIAA hc spots flopped pretty hard.

Yeah I'm in wait and see mode. He failed in his first try at a rebuild, but I assume he learned from that, and knows more about what it takes now.

if UCO can stop the flow out in state talent jumping the border, they are hella better from day 1. back a few years ago, there were 5 starters on rosters in kansas from the okc metro. 2 of them off the same high school team. those 5 kids starting at UCO make a difference. if they are starters at UCO, they are obviously not starting at emporia and pitt. those are just 5 examples i know of.
1 was starting RB for emporia (UCO had a pretty salty RB rotation at this point but two of those rbs were also DBs in high school)
2 of them starters in the dbackfield for emporia (UCO was a few degrees cooler than a dumpster fire are pass defense at this time frame)
1 was starter on the pitt oline (can always use more olineman)
also had 1 WR go to a GAC team and become an all american.
emporia had 23 oklahoma kids on that roster in 2016
32 currently.

Pitt has always recruited a few from down there, and a lot more from Tulsa. That said, Wright's recruiting footprint is much less limited than the previous 2 staff's. I think that will help UCO a little. OTOH, some of the other okie directional d2s are improving, so they'll be sniffing around, too.
