It's speculation, but I have to think it has to have SOME type of impact. Even if it doesn't affect his ability to get quality players in the program, there are some kids who aren't going to come here because of worries about his health. But I don't see it being a factor any different than other factors like not coming here cause it's cold. You deal with the factors you have and go get good players anyway.
I don't think his health will be the reason he can't pull in good players, let's put it that way, I think other factors will be far more influential.
