As a former running back himself -- and a pretty good one at that -- new Syracuse Orange running backs coach Mike Hart obviously brings some expertise to the role. But beyond his knowledge of the position, the newest member of Dino Babers's SU staff might also be able to bring some recruiting names along with him.
The appeal of Hart is two-fold. Not only is he a local kid that went on to great things (at Michigan, but bear with me). But he's a recent story of success at the running back position, and one that was taking handoffs in the NFL not too long ago.
