Thanks for the summary from the UVA board...interesting.

A few thoughts/questions for you.

- Ivies. A quarter century ago, Dom Starsia left his alma mater, Brown, to to go UVA. Tillman left Harvard to take over Maryland. Sowell left Dartmouth to go to St. John's/Stony Brook/Navy, etc. Recently, the Ivies are putting more money/endowing these spots (like a lot of schools).
Do you think folks would automatically jump from the Ivies, particularly when you double dip it with...

- Loyalty. Lars Tiffany is also a Brown graduate and seems to have everything he needs there, particularly two very good assistant coaches (at least for now...got to think Kirwin will be lulled somewhere soon)
Charlie Toomey is also a Loyola grad. Would he leave his alma mater?

- Tufts. Daly's got them back in the title game. He's had quite a run there, starting it up and maintaining it.

Shawn Nadelin would be interesting at Princeton. Tough, defensive-minded coach...kind of following the Tierney mode.

All that said, I could see Yale's Andy Shay working well at UVa, along with Daly....
