Yes I know especially with it being Marrone's first year coming off the dumpster fire, but that is beside the point, it is still an excellent example. He would have had as much playing time as he needed here, at Tenn he was buried. Doesn't matter how close we were to actually getting someone, this is a study in how very good players that could see good playing time here get buried at ND and SEC (etal) schools.

Justin Pugh, Shamarko Thomas and Nassib all drafted last year none of them were "4 star guys" but they got great playing time and focus from the coaching and S&C staff at SU to prove their talent and improve their strength. Name the last guy who played 3nd string at any school his whole c0llege career that went high in the NFL draft.

We don't want to (and hopefully don't have to) use this argument forever with recruits but as we continue to build back up it certainly is a rational one to possibly land a few very talented players.
