What are we thinking about Eric Roedl as new AD?
I don't know a ton about Roedl, but I like that he's a Nova grad and has an understanding of the uniqueness of Villanova combined with extensive experience at a big, athletically-oriented state school. I think that's a mix that will be important. I think it was important to step out of house for this hire, and doing so while bringing someone with knowledge of the house was a good move in my opinion. Roedl will obviously have a big, important decision to make very early into his tenure, and how that is approached and what is ultimately decided will be telling.
Anyone more familiar with Roedl? Are optimistic on the hire? Or disappointed/concerned?
