Message: [QUOTE="CIL, post: 134838, member: 22"] IMO, Marrone erred by running off several players upon his arrival, as well as self inflicted departures ala Collier and Sales. Kids like Speller, Kay, Sheeran, etc should be available at least in a depth capacity by now. We have been far too reliant on underclassmen for the last two years, it's sickening. Very few freshman or even redshirt freshman are ready to play division 1 football. It is a very difficult adjustment physically and mentally. There is a major difference between a 23 year old with five years of s and c and practice reps and an 18 years old with summer ball under his belt. This is compounded by Marrone's push into NYC, where a senior in HS is probably equivalent to a 16 years old elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
