In response to palestra38
First and foremost, Dartmouth has to find hidden gem recruits who can transform their team. Even compared to other Ivies, the Big Green is at a disadvantage and is going to lose out on top recruits. So they have to go out of the box to find their stars. Not easy, but it's possible.
Elite talents like Tosan Evbuomwan and Xaivian Lee were right there for anyone to get. Tosan emailed every single Ivy and only Princeton replied. We got lucky with Xaivian, who was recommended by Jaelin Llewellyn's dad. Even so, Princeton was his only offer and he might have signed elsewhere if someone else got to him first. Lightly recruited kids favor the first program to express interest.
As for a new head coach, Dartmouth should overpay to hire our lead assistant Brett MacConnell. It's well known that he wants to be a head coach in the very near future and Brian Earl has already proven the merits of the Mitch Henderson coaching tree. I'd hate to lose MacConnell AND Earl to fellow Ivies, but he would be such a great get for Dartmouth.
