I thought about the similarities when I watched that 30/30.  I guess the big difference that comes to my mind is that Marrone grew up in the Bronx.  I've been living in Manhattan since '95, and I've always wondered about the massive amount of undeveloped football talent in NYC schools.  My guess is that Marrone has always believed NYC would be a huge resource for recruiting because he grew up in the City.  If football talent is a numbers game in any way then NYC is a goldmine waiting to be developed. 
 
It's one of the reasons I love the Bromley pick up.  My understanding is that Bromley started playing football very late, or maybe he played at a school with a program that hadn't been around but a few years.  Either way, no one really knew anything about him until his senior year.  He makes the All-Star game between the City and Long Island which is played in June after his senior year, and he dominates the line of scrimmage winning the MVP.  After that game SU lands him and a month or so later Bromley is playing at SU as a true freshman.  As a sophomore he is a starter.  He could end up being drafted into the NFL.
