If Lutz is the guy, it's going to be interesting to see if he keeps Kummer who was his assistant for years at Charlotte. The staff was released along with Capel so he's not on the staff right now.

Yes, Lutz gets his final paycheck from Charlotte at the end of this month for something like 225K.

DG, I know the recruits haven't panned out, but they have talent. Obacha should be much more than he is, but he hasn't been developed by the coaches.

Sorry but I have to disagree. The schools Capel beat for most of his players aren't even top level SoCon schools and we know how bad the conference is. Of the 14 players he signed none have made 1st or 2nd team conference or the all freshman team. That tells me he was underachieving on the recruiting trail. Obacha plays hard and gives a great effort. He has some athletic skills, but can't stay out of foul trouble and at times struggles with basic plays like making make lay-ups. Tony shows some promise and Eaves looks to be a role player. None are the kind of guy who can take over a game like Donald Sims, Rufus Leach or DJ Thompson. BTW, all recruited to App by Matt McMahon. Capel failed to bring a single difference maker to campus in his 3 years. IMO, that is what determines if you can recruit.

It remains to be seen if Devonte Graham or Kendrick Flomo would have been one of those guys.
