We probably just won't agree on some of these. Some really good Dino recruits are no longer on the team because they're in the league.

As I said, I think the top of the Shafer WR's is better. Dino should probably be given some credit, however, for moving Philips to slot since he came in as a RB. He also brought in AET. It shouldn't be counted against Dino that Gadsden got hurt this year. He would've been a higher NFL prospect than anyone Shafer left. I think almost everyone we have now is better than than Riley. I'm not just using stats to judge.

The top of the dline you listed was better but Shafer left absolutely no depth there. Remember how we started true freshman DEs that I believe Dino recruited during his first year? We've been able to rotate way more guys this year than what Shafer left.

Zaire Franklin may be better than anyone Dino has recruited, but, again, we've had a bunch of guys we've been able to rotate the last couple years. I give the depth advantage to Dino.

I think some of what we have on the oline this year match up to the guys you listed. Shafer never recruited a Bergeron.

I'll take Allen over every RB you listed and it's not close. If you offered me only Allen or all three of the other guys, I'd take Allen. And Dino also recruited Tucker. And even though he transferred out, he landed Jawhar Jordan.

Dino made over the roster largely into a P5 one. We can see that by how many guys we've had drafted the last few years compared to how many had been getting drafted. Hopefully, the new coach can build on that by landing/developing some of the positions Dino had trouble with: QB, WR, and oline.
