New assistant coach! What do we know? What position will he coach? Where is his recruiting base?

I believe on xavierhoops they were saying this guy has a strong recruiting base in the south. He's supposed to be a very good recruiter.

Reportedly the "big man" coach desired by Coach Steele - and a good recruiter. Here is a quote from the Atlanta Constitution article about Hayes leaving Georgia staff:

"After Fox elevated him to full-time assistant, Hayes emerged as a potent recruiter, leading the way to get Yante Maten, a future SEC Player of the Year. He also was the lead recruiter on Ashton Hagans, a 5-star point guard in the 2019 class who committed to Georgia last year, then de-committed amid the uncertainty of Fox’s future."

great he can recruit but that is only part of the formula for a successful coach. Anyone have info on his coaching ability to teach players?
