Tavaras Hardy, Georgetown: After spending seven seasons at his alma mater of Northwestern under Bill Carmody, Hardy has already made a major splash (http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/06/georgetown-fills-out-their-coaching-staff/) under John Thompson III’s staff at Georgetown by continuing to harvest players from the fertile recruiting ground of Chicago and helping the Hoyas land the (former) Whitney Young duo of L.J. Peak (http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/02/four-star-small-forward-l-j-peak-commits-to-georgetown/) and Paul White (http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/15/2014-forward-paul-white-commits-to-georgetown/). Hardy also helped land notable players at Northwestern including John Shurna, Drew Crawford and JerShon Cobb.

Patrick Sellers, Creighton: The Bluejays move to the Big East meant they needed a noted Big East recruiting presence, which they got with the hiring of Sellers, a former assistant at UConn and Hofstra. Sellers coached under Jim Calhoun from 2004 through 2010 and helped the Huskies land Jeremy Lamb, Shabazz Napier, Tyler Olander, and Roscoe Smith to the 2010-11 national title team. Sellers gives Creighton immediate Big East credibility on the recruiting trail.
