I'm rooting like hell for him and legit bummed out that he's gone.

I don't know if people realize how important he was to the Cuse program the last 15 years or so. He(along with current OKC front office guy Troy Weaver) revitalized the recruiting once they put him out on the road in 2001 and brought in the bulk of the players that won the national title. And he had a huge role in the day to day operations of the program. I think he shouldered a lot more weight than most number 2's.
