he might be too young and inexperienced, but more I am actually starting to think about it Brian Hartline might make a ton of sense. He is as good of a recruiter as there is in the entire country, definitely way up in that upper tier and he knows the B1G extremely well.
it's a bit risky, but the upside is really high, plus he's not geriatric like some of the others mentioned in this thread. he'll be able to land highly rated QBs, RBs, and WRs- for sure. Building out the staff, game-day management, player development, dealing with donors/NIL, managing a roster and the portal- no way to have a real clue on that bc he's never done any of it. But if the single most important part is recruiting- well he'll nail that out of the freaking park.
