Just over a week later came a report that Louis Orr would join his staff as an assistant.
Before the month ended there was a sense that Robert Kirby, a former John Thompson III assistant, was headed back to the Hilltop.
Over the last two months buzz circulated about Ewing retaining one assistant from Thompson’s 2016-17 staff, Akbar Waheed.
Over the last two months the assistants help Ewing woo recruits and transfers even though they were not officially introduced as part of the program.
That official introduction came Monday, finally.
