This year's staff has both a Development and Recruiting Coordinator and a Director of Recruiting. Until now, there was only one of those. As noted below, Shrewsberry just added Ghost Owens who has been the coach of the Indy Heat AAU program. Owens doesn't appear on the roster yet.
I'm glad ND has finally started to support its basketball coach.
Shrewsberry presumably negotiated those positions and had the connections to hire guys like Owens and Snow who are plugged into recruiting. I doubt these new staff positions were Swarbrick's brain child.
There's also the networking required to build relationships with rising stars in the industry, as opposing to relying almost entirely on former players and coaches from decades ago. And, of course, there's the energy and commitment on the recruiting trail, which, despite assertions to the contrary in some local corners of the internet, has been widely acknowledged by Tom Noie and others to be sorely lacking for far too long under the prior regime.
They're both to blame and deserved what they got.
