Why? That would be devastating to our recruiting.

He is the only assistant coach that ever gets mentioned. Brannen is a very good recruiter, but most kids commit to us because of Grant. Plus, now that Pettway is on staff we have a guy that can help replace him. While it would possibly hurt our recruiting, I wouldn't see it being that devastating. I'd rather replace Pujol, but Grant's not going to replace him unless he leaves, and he has no reason to leave. We need some new perspective on the team, and now that Pettway was promoted, he would almost have to hire a guy outside of the program.
