Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 4157355, member: 2766"] Marrone took over an absolute circus. We stopped recruiting NY/NJ under Robinson. Even though Marrone was a NYer and so were key guys on his staff, but these coaches weren't just going to start pushing their top guys to Syracuse without some trust built. Even still we came the closest to getting actual blue chip recruits in Ebo and Ishaq. I think the foundation Marrone laid was about to really start paying off. We still had guys like Gus Edwards committed. I don't think it's debatable that Marrone and his staff did the best job recruiting given the huge obstacles he was up against with tick poor facilities and Big East affiliation, coming off an absolute disaster that was the Grob reign.
