Then draw the line on the last class.

Besides, how many NFL kids did shafer and marrone have?

We have had this discussion ad nauseum though.

Marrone couldn't recruit but was far an away the best developer of talent (that tag includes the entire staff.)

Shafer recruited a couple of high end kids but the bottoms fell out of his middle and low end.  The lower half of his classes were D1AA.  Which he passed on to Babers. In terms of staff player development, I think it was somewhere in the middle.  Below Marrone, but above the Babers staff.

Babers has far and away recruited the best but might be the worst in terms of player development.  imo, the WR and OL coaches have been terrible at player development and he made a major major blunder in hiring Martin to coach QBs.  That single move - imo - could have been the undoing of the program.  When Lewis left he needed to go find a top shelf QB coach.  That set us back 2 years.  (in both development and recruiting.)
