I think that is the biggest takeaway.  The level we are recruiting at now is night and day.  I was always pretty vocal about what I saw as below average recruiting by Shafer at the time, especially the totally overblown worth of Mc#*%it.  I always felt that there wasn't a strategy, or if there was it would change on a whim.  There was far too many big time reaches really early in the cycle where they end up getting dropped or as you can see bust out within a year.  There is no reason to be taking a flier on a kid in May.  It just reeked of someone being in over there head.  It's unfortunate too because Scott was easy to root for.  He was a great person, he just couldn't cut it as a head man at this level.  Wwhat Dino has done in such a short period of time, coming off a 4 win season is nothing short of remarkable.  If he could somehow manage a 6 or 7 win season I think the flood gates could open.  Also, Nick Monroe has earned a raise from his recruiting alone.  Not only has Nick brought in most of the Florida kids, but he was also lead recruiting for Qadir.  Monroe is basically everything Mc&$#it was supposed to be!!
