Coach Wojcik's trio of assistants

So we now know the Spartan coaching staff and all three have obvious connections to northern California.

* Coming over from USF, Jack Kennedy will have familiarity with all of the Golden State as well as other ones around the country since Dons Coach Rex Walters recruits nationally (signees from Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, Arizona and Oregon).

* Chris Brazelton grew up in southern California and has ties up here from when he was recruiting for UC Riverside -- the Highlander roster is loaded with players from throughout the state. His one season at Drake may have allowed time for the development of some Midwest contacts but that remains to be determined.

* 'Recruiting coordinator' was Omar Lowery's subtitle at Cal Poly and, while out of Wisconsin, his former head coach offered this in his Mustangs bio: "Omar is one of the most well-respected and connected recruiters in Texas, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin..." The CP roster contains both northern California and southern California members.

The one element that MAY be missing is a strong X's-and-O's assistant (it's a difficult component to distill from what's detailed in bios). But Coach Wojcik has definitely focused on surrounding himself with recruiters so it will be interesting to see how many of the 13 scholarships can be used for out-of-state prospects.
