Wonder if a USL guy may take the super draft more seriously. I’m probably just talking myself into making the draft exciting.

Anything to create any buzz during late December.

Anything to create any buzz during late December.

According to the club’s announcement, his first day isn’t until January 1. Hopefully, he’s involved in some capacity before then, but the timing, once again with this club, is just bizarre. Why January 1? And even if there’s a legitimate reason, why go out of your way to include that detail in the press release? Just say you hired him. There’s no need to emphasize that he won’t officially start until after the SuperDraft and nearly a full month of the offseason, when other teams are already making moves.

The hiring of an academy director is a pretty strong piece of evidence that Dunivant is already working even though he hasn't officially started yet.

Oh man. Forgot about that. He’s gotta have some sort of connection to the personnel dept at this stage?

Is Dunivant still under contract with and actively working for Sacramento?
What I'm really asking is why was his official hire dater delayed.

Because people would be screaming why isn't Dunivant doing anything if there aren't any moves before Jan 1 and screaming louder about typical lack of CFG transparency when it inevitably came out?

Especially bc all the weird contract negotiation stuff, as well as the drafts, are right before he joins.

Maybe they wanted to take care of it internally before he joins given that he doesn't know much about the team yet?
