Anyone know anything about him?

Based on the fact that he's a Chicago guy, seems like an attempt to fill the void left by Gates's departure, which is good enough for me. Hopefully he is well known on the recruiting circuit.

His cousin Tracy is the coach at Chicago St, previously at UIC.

He played his high school ball at King. His first two years of college ball were at New Mexico state and then he transferred to EIU. I believe his dad was coach at Kennedy-King, but I may be wrong on
that.

wonder if the Chicago St. series will continue then? Cousin v.s. Brother?

"Called one of the top rising young coaching talents from the city by ChicagoHoops.com after compiling a 35-27 record in two junior college seasons at Kennedy-King..."

“I feel the recruiting definitely is one of my strengths not just Chicago but the relationships I’ve built. Of course, my home town is Chicago, but as a coach in general, I’ve made relationships throughout the country.”

That includes contacts from his time playing overseas.

“I definitely have some international people to stay in touch with. Hopefully I can bring some kids in and get some things done.”

Shockingly, this is an actual, honest-to-God article about the hire:

The Trib could only manage to copy and paste Loyola's press release.

I think we really need Emanuel to be a good recruiter of Chicago. Lets hope he can bring in some Chicago talent. I am a little skeptical about the possibility of bringing in international talent but would love it.

These were from some articles that came out when Dildy became the Asst at EIU.
