How do you guys evaluate recruiting though?
 
He got a lot of guys that were highly rated, but vastly underperformed and turned out to be overrated.  He also got some 2 stars that were under the radar.
 
My main memory from the G-Rob era is the fact Syracuse couldn't recruit one guy who could catch a frickin punt.
 
I think people are starting to realize the cupboard wasn't completely bare.  However, some of these same people still expect to have Marrone's frosh and sophs outperform redshirt juniors and seniors (especially at offensive skill positions).
 
In all honesty, you can't fully evaluate Marrone yet.  I mean, in his first class (the only one that can be somewhat evaluated), he found 2 safeties who may get a NFL shot at camp, a starting LG (who was better as a frosh), a rush end, a starting RG (who he beat Miami out for) and usable depth in guys like Anderson and Ball.  Plus, a LB who would have been in prime position to be a 4-year starter. 
 
I mean, for half a recruiting season, that is a pretty solid class
