Jerome Smith was a 2-star, diamond in the rough that DM and staff mined out of the great fb state of DE. Fortunately, they closed the deal early and JS stayed true to his commitment.
 
Help me out here...are Bailey and Gulley "good" or "great" players?  Diminishing their roles and achievements doesn't help your argument.  Both are/were VERY important players within the framework of the offensive systems in which they played.   As you mentioned, both are/were primarily "change of pace" backs used in special packages and to spell Carter and Smith.  Btw, this is exactly the role that Witter is being recruited for. 
 
Hopefully, with our transition into the ACC, we' ll never have to worry about the situations you described in 2006.  In fact, I'm not sure why you'd bring up the darkest period of SU FB history to make your point.  We all know that the circumstances that created the perfect storm that totally gutted the program have been corrected and, hopefully, can never happen again.
