DVD is a great recruiter and ambassador for the Program with local high school kids, but having him leave with Banda is not a bad idea.
When Rumph is let go Manny is likely to hire somebody other than DVD for the role. That might not sit well with DVD since I'm sure he was brought in with the expectation that he would eventually become an assistant coach. Yet, DVD has no experience and Manny cannot afford to hire another green coach. Having DVD make his bones with Banda at Utah State is significantly better than having a rival or another ACC school scoop him up. This move will have zero impact on head-to-head recruiting in South Florida and allows DVD to gain experience.
We will need Lockette to step up and recruit, however.
