Cusian, I think you are a great poster, and it seems like 99% of the time I'm on the same page with your perspectives.  But I don't agree about this one.  Lynch, Hickey, etc. were all highly productive college players.  The barometer for acceptable performance shouldn't be "high NFL draft pick" -- at least not for our program.   Marvin Graves didn't make it in the NFL--was he a worthwhile recruit?  I know, I know--if we have more NFL prospects, the onfield performance would be better on paper.  Well, hopefully that's coming.  Success on the field generally begats improved success on the recruiting trail.  But that doesn't mean that players are indicative of "poor" recruiting simply because they don't make the NFL.  We've had PLENTY of absolutely TREMENDOUS players go through this program who lacked a measureable that precluded them from having an NFL career.  It doesn't mean that those players stunk, or that they were bad recruits to bring in.
