Message: [QUOTE="florange44, post: 2175635, member: 3596"] Everyone is focusing on the recruiting capability of the respective coaching staffs. I believe the ability to develop players is just as important. Marrone and staff were the best developer of talent, perhaps that is why some Grob recruits look good. Shafer and staff (perhaps with one or two exceptions) were not developers of talent which accordingly makes Marrone recruits less attractive at the time of the draft. Unfortunately, it looks like Shafer was not very good at either recruiting or developing. Perhaps the developing part was held back by sub-standard S&C, but I blame that on Shafer too. The jury is still out with Dino, but I believe recruiting has seen an uptick, and I believe the S&C program along with many of Dino's staff will provide solid development. Go Orange!
