Fuss was the best assistant on Christian's staff. Very happy he's staying.

I know that's just your opinion, but if so, I'm wondering why JC didn't take him (not one of his guys-I'm guessing, plus the fan base is demanding strong name brand assistants as well)

Christian didn't take anyone, correct?  Nice guy…someone you'd really want to hitch your wagon to.

Technically, he did take Coach Wu, just as he did when he left TCU for Ohio...

Fuss isn't a New England guy. Also, I don't think Christian does a good job assembling a staff.

the BC fan blog has a short article announcing the addition of Coach Wu to JC's staff. In it they credit him for strong guard development and use DJ Cooper as an example. Thought Kellogg might be a better example so I looked up the cbssports article they did on him last month and in it Kellogg credits his improvement to Christian and Fuss. There's no mention of Coach Wu.

Would have been more accurate to attribute Beaner to him. 

Fuss is an OHio guy from Pataskala. He is very good where he is and he is still polishing his trade. I was surprised it took so long for Wu to follow. Did Bates have to wait for the furor to die down before adding anther OHIO guy? I am sure Wu is a really good recruiter and a pretty good coach. I don't see a ton of development of Deej that should be given credit from May to November. he was pretty polished by then. Could look at the percentages and numbers with regard to efficiency and % but I am not sure there was leap in that year. 

No reason for Fuss to go east....DOBO and others follow JC or just Wu?

Chip is with Wu and JC; Stewart is not.

incredibly glad Aaron Fuss is still on the staff. That's huge.
