To me, this is on the opposite end of the spectrum from declaring Tai Webster one of the top 25 recruits in the nation just because Fran McCaffrey said so, or saying that, with a recruiter like Scott Spinelli on board, it's not long before we start making the dance every year. LISTEN TO ME: Rashon Burno was an assistant coach. An assistant. He still is an assistant, just at a different program. And while he would probably have been a very good assistant, he was still an assistant. If he was good enough to make or break our program by his presence or absence ... HE WOULD BE A HEAD COACH SOMEWHERE. He is NOT a head coach somewhere. He is an assistant coach somewhere. An assistant. It might not be great that he left. Sure, the timing sucks. And he was certainly a good hire, from all accounts. Nevertheless, he's still just an assistant coach. There's only so much influence he could possibly have over the program, good or bad. (I say that also for all the people who think our offense went to shit because we hired Jim Molinari.) Climb in from the window ledge; this ain't the end of the world.
