I don't agree at all. No one has a crystal ball here, but so far after the coaching change, we're 4-4 (loosing) with our top recruits. No question Allen was Marone-caused (he said so/Hacket). I would also say that Brown flipped b/c of Marone (he said so, and it seems silly to argue with a direct quote), and Smith also smells like Marone-related (no NYC connection). Gus was probably drifting anyway.
Talk me down, but I think Doug stuck it in our eye on most of these kids. But hey, good to know your (new) dream is working out (until you loose too many games and they roast you on one of those piles of garbage the drunken fans leave burning in the RW parking lot).
