No I don't think that it is a coincidence that the penalties were levied the same day that the new recruiting director is announced as he has among his credentials an understanding of NCAA compliance. “I’m happy that Alex has joined the West Virginia University football program,” Holgorsen said in a press release. “He brings a wealth of knowledge from his tenure at the NCAA over the past few years that will not only help us remain in compliance but also will ensure we are doing the most we can to recruit top student-athletes.”
Alex will be joining a staff that has already had some success in generating interest in our program. The recruiting coordinator won't actually be in the field recruiting but will be coordinating the visits for athletes and make sure that the Coaches are in the right places at the right times to bring home the bacon. I am excited by this hire as it is yet another example of the direction Coach Holgorsen is traveling with his staff. He wants professionals with a singular understanding of success for our football program. It is appearent that AD, Luck was pleased with this move as well. “Alex is an excellent addition to not only our football staff but also our athletic department,” WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck said in the release. “Aside from being a well-educated and smart guy, what attracted him to us was his experience with the NCAA. He will be an important asset to the football program, coach Holgorsen and the athletic department.”
Welcome to the staff Alex. Big expectations come with your title.
