I'm skeptical, but would be fascinated if he got something going.
Interesting factoid: his first coaching gig (per Wiki) was in Baltimore, 1975, serving as an assistant to then-HC Ted Marchibroda for -not kidding- $25 per week.
I literally just got back from the corner store, spending 30 bucks on a case of beer.
I see it as a BIG positive that Cassity had a chance to cull the staff he brought with him from SHSU. It looks like he brought all the defensive side. If he didn't like a work-effort or personality of someone he could have not invited them. They know each other and will jell faster as a coaching unit than if all were new coaches to each other.
Once the Supreme Court allowed the NIL and portal to be the rule, the P2s and their networks were ready to pounce.

No. players before the Big Buy were more likely to stay with a program as long as they saw rewards of playing time eventually.
The past transfer penalty to sit-out a year kept players at a school and on the team longer....long enough to bond with the school, other players, get girlfriends....it then became more like a home to them. They stayed.
Now? it's all about "how much"? Not even about playing time or academics or part of the country.
