I know a key person at Cincy. Zac had tremendous say in the draft and FA. It’s a 3 way decision between Mike, Zac, and Duke on the first pick. After that it’s probably 50/50 between the two. Zac has a lot of trust in Duke and his department. They do exhaustive work. But make no mistake he tells Duke to bring him captains, team leaders, and players from winning programs when possible. That was Zac. It’s very obvious if you look at who was drafted prior to Zac that was not the case. From winning programs was not as important as team captains or players with extremely high character and work effort. This team he’s constructed goes to work.
