Actually, you are the one acting like a freaking baby. The fact of the matter is that Marrone did a solid job recruiting, regardless of what the star system suggested about the classes he brought in. The team got significantly bigger, stronger, and faster under his four year tenure--which directly translated into the team being more competitive on the field.
 
Would it have been nice to land a bunch of 4- or 5-star recruits? Sure. But the program was not in a position to have a shot at those caliber of guys [Ishaq being the lone "elite recruit" we could have legitimately landed].
 
The biggest factor in recruiting blue chip prospects has everything to do with wins, losses, and public perception of the program. Marrone did a LOT to improve the state of our program, and was just getting to the point where perception might have tipped in favor of us landing more blue chippers. You're criticism of his recruiting is not only off-target, it focuses on the wrong things.
