In reply to: Their credentials as ND assistants are similar posted by Kayo

One of Ivey's strengths is her recruiting ability. It may be that Washington was ND's lead recruiter of Ivey when NI was in high school. If so, Niele would know just how good a recruiter CW is. Washington also had several top recruiting classes at Penn State, another tribute to her recruiting ability.

Not to slight Beth, but I can't recall anyone touting her recruiting ability. It's always how she excelled with X's & O's.

In every interview she's given since her hiring (including the announcement), Niele's talked about how she's focusing on recruiting. I think this was a major factor, and perhaps the top one, in her staff selection process.
