Any thoughts on when the staff will be put together? A couple weeks? A month? It has been a while since I closely followed a coaching change so I don't have a good sense of the timeline for that stuff.

I would think sooner than later. Season Opener is less than 7 months away. I know Schrage was in Elon today doing photo shoot.

There is a "live" recruiting period for high school athletes that starts Thursday at noon, and only lasts a couple of days. I'd be surprised if Schrage doesn't have at least one of his assistants in place by then. I am sure he knows who he wants and has already spoken to them.
There are only a few days in April with live periods, a few days of evaluation only and then May is mostly a quiet period (no off-campus recruiting) and a dead period (no in-person recruiting or visits). The next few weeks will be critical to adding any additional players to the incoming class.
He's gonna need every bit of help he can get in this spring recruiting period.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it, here is Coach Schrage's introductory press conference (his part starts around 10:45 if you want to skip Blank's intro). youtube.com/watch?v=xO_he3tJE0Y |

I saw Adam Smith of the Burlington Times News floated Tyler Lewis name on Twitter as a possible assistant coach hire.
I think he'd be phenomenal.

The Tyler Lewis a done deal I believe. Not announced yet but possibly by end of day tomorrow. Great addition I believe.

Tyler Smith was at the presser. Wouldn't be surprised. Would be a promotion from his current role as video coordinator

Those two guys seem like solid hires, but I would think/hope/assume (especially based on what Schrage said in his presser) that we will get some guys with actual assistant experience as well.
