King, I basically liked GRob as a recruiter -- or thought he was fine given the circumstances he helped create with all the losing. But this post is a bit misleading. Taj was great as was Mike Williams. Holmes DC3 looked real good as frosh and had real nice careers. Lemon was solid. But let's not get crazy with how good these guys looked. Chesnut ran fly patterns and got open deep for 8 catches -- 3 went for TDs. Real nice but I'm not sure I was expecting him to develop into a complete stud. Hogue averaged 3.3 ypc. Merkerson had 8 catches for 101. Sales 14 catches for 160. Collier had 1 carry that went for 60 yards -- his 11 other carries went for 22 yards. Plus that's over 5 years of GRob (4 but Lemon was his recruit).

By those standards you could point to Gulley's 13 carries for 74 yards would qualify as would Kobena's work on kick returns. West probably makes this list if not for the ankle issue. Listen, I'm not fired up about the offensive haul either, but remember a vast majority of Marrone's first class was on the defensive side of the ball.
