Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 68568, member: 40"] Go re-read my post. It generally takes 2-3 years for football recruits to get up to speed and mature physically to the point where they can compete with more experienced players. That means Marrone's first class. In that class, the only two skilled position players he brought in were Lemon and Loeb. Lemon is starting, and having a decent year. Look, we need to add better skilled talent--no argument there. Agree 100%. But the notion that Marrone's recruits should have already replaced the upperclassmen ahead of them isn't a very good argument. Most of his first recruiting class is in fact starting.
