Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2585683, member: 485"] Let's be honest -- our program has been short of talent & depth since Paul P was head coach (2012 was an exception). GROB brought in a few stars (the ones you mention plus DeLeone Carter), but his classes were top-heavy with little depth. Marrone relied on jucos to fill gaps, did not build the recruiting as much as many hoped, and left Shafer a bad hand for recruiting the 2013 class with the timing of the transition. Bottom line, there are challenges in recruiting kids to SU. Dino may be cleaning that up, and his classes are clearly deeper. Still, it is a struggle -- has yet to make a mark in bringing in top talent at RB, WR, LB. Needs a winning record and a bowl game to help his pitch. [/QUOTE]
