They are not an indictment of his ability to recruit - they were all solid college players and Hickey, Eskridge and Lynch all made 3rd team all ACC at one point in their careers.

Lynch and Reddish really should have been able to redshirt their Frosh years, and they had to play due to the lack of quality talent/depth on the team.  Do they get drafted if they get another year?  Who knows but I'd be willing to be they'd have a better shot if they had.  Same with Eskridge on forgoing his final year.  Lynch's height was always going to be a limiting factor as far as an NFL career is concerned.

Not really sure what ragging on guys that were pretty good players for the program accomplishes.  None of the guys on that list were 4 star can't miss prospects coming out of high school.  Reddish was the only one that was heavily recruited and a consensus 3 star.

Two things stand out to me about Marrone's recruiting - first, he wasn't very good at landing elite talent, and that's pretty obvious looking at any of his recruiting classes.  Second - he improved the quality of depth on the roster top to bottom and anyone who can't see that is blinded by their man-hate for the guy.
