Things actually turned out surprisingly well for us considering that we lost some of our best recruits from the last class after the coaching change.

Gus Edwards - clearly the best of the bunch, but probably obsolete in the McDonald offense.  Would have been a great replacement for Jerome

Zach Allen - losing him probably allowed us to be able to land AJ and Alin this year, so that whole situation may have worked out for the best.  McDonald gets a prime shot at QB's that fit his offense.

Devan Carter - feel for the kid, stuck at Rutgers bailing water out of that sinking ship.  Don't really know if he would have even seen the field with the LB haul we had this year.

LaRay Smith - really not much of a loss with PTG returning and we just recruited a similar guy who is probably a better natural back in Erv Phillips

And then Malik - we're deep at DE, just landed a guy in Slayton that looks like a stud, and Malik is buried on the depth chart at Tennessee anyway.

All in all, to trade those 5 guys for our new coaching staff and the class they were able to put together this year, I'll take that trade any day of the week.
