I believe he will have limited success with recruiting in his first year just like Lamont will have here, but his substantial NCAAT coaching experience may offset that to a good degree.
He got high-level opportunities at KState and here, but he also experienced the stress of trying to maintain success at that level, too.
The mid-major position may end up suiting him a lot better in the long run. He has the NCAAT experience, but convincing kids to come play at a lesser school like UMass may be an early challenge for him until he gets to the NCAAT at UMass.
I think he will be adequately compensated financially while being able to enjoy coaching once again like he did his last year here.
He could get one or two deep NCAAT runs and maybe just kick back and do TV for a while, too.
Both he and Lamont will do well this coming season, so I am going to pay attention to both programs. A couple of journalists still have a good relationship with him online as well.
Lamont has not had the visibility with journalists that Frank has, but I think his former Wisconsin players may bring some media hype into the program as we get into December and the wins start to happen.
