nearly the credit he deserves.

This is probably the largest and most challenging rebuild at a major conference program in at least the last decade and maybe two, and he has done it seamlessly without having his most crucial piece of the initial rebuild available to him.

I thought no matter who we hired this was at a minimum a 3 year process to get MU back to where it needed to be, but I think barring unforseen issues it has become 2. And that is almost entirely due to Cuonzo surpassing expectations and changing the culture and expectations so drastically. By this time next year it is plausible that other than APR issues there is no detrimental impact of the Kim disaster remaining in our program. Which is an astounding accomplishment if it comes to fruition.
