If I were Danville I would try to find someone who doesn't try to compete with Haddix and Boyle directly, but brings their own style and reason why kids would want to stay within their program or be part of the program.

Boyle basically is running a small college program. They will have extreme success every year and talent will flow there from the entire region. The result is you will have great players at every position and often you will either wait your turn or you may wait your turn just to see the next superstar swoop in the summer before.

Personally if I were Danville I would invest in a coach who is 100% content building something and making it stand on it's own legs. Build around a staff meant to stay in place from the feeder system up, a humbleness in trying to do something everyone will be a part in building together, and a commitment to doing it with a loyalty to local players who want to grow in the system. It will take some time and patience..

With that said, I would look at programs who have found sustained success in somewhat unlikely places and do everything to bring those staffs over where the Danville name and talent pool offers an upgrade to what they are accustomed if they are willing to farm it.

A couple schools that come to mind:
East Carter
Hart County
Campbellsville

The job the staff has done at all three of these schools is very impressive. I would consider Danville a talent pool upgrade over all three jobs and Danville probably has more resources to pull from than all three locations as well.
