This is a textbook example of where a non-compete can be enforced. The whole point of non-competes is to prevent a manager from leaving one business to start up a competitor. And yes, that includes soliciting employees, clients, etc... He'd be fine if he was just an employee going from one company to another, but a manager taking a bunch of employees to start up a competitor is definitely a situation where a non-compete is enforceable.
