This is the first thing you posted in this entire thread "In four years, Marrone was unable to snag a single 4+ star recruit."
 
In any given year, each of the 3 main recruiting sites (Rivals, Scout, ESPN) hand out 4 or 5 star rankings to around 250 kids. Clearly there are differences site to site, so on average, probably 150 of those kids are consensus 4-5 star recruits across the 3 sites. Of that, maybe 75% have multiple top 10 type program offers.
 
Your definition of a 4 star recruit (which you should have put in your first post and it would have saved you a lot of time and grief) is a consensus 4 star or 5 star that has multiple top 10 like program offers. In any give year on average there are anywhere from 125-150 kids that fit that profile. So if you're saying Marrone wasn't successful in recruiting those specific type of players, then yes, that's accurate. Will Shafer do better at that? Maybe, maybe not. It does help that he has a crack Florida recruiter in George McDonald because, in general, Florida has a higher # of those type of recruits.
 
The reason why you're getting so much flak from people here is simply because you did a crappy job of defining what you meant in your very first sentence.
 
People aren't debating you because of Marrone's recruiting track record, it is what it is and it's documented.  They're debating you because at face value you started this thread with an inaccurate post.
