We've done very well recruiting the trenches over the past 4 years comparative to the GROB years and I think this is the biggest recruiting difference, along with Marrone's highest regarded recruits actually qualifying and staying in school. Our D-Line and O-Line are night and day compared to that period. Marrone's 4 star recruits have been Spruill, Broyld, Ron Thompson, and Wayne Morgan, and so far so good with them. GROB had some 4 stars at the top of his classes, for every one that turned into a contributor or difference maker, there was another that was an academic casualty, injury casualty, or just plain flamed out.
 
I really feel like we're going to turn a major corner in recruiting in the near future, and that makes me even more confident because this staff has shown the ability to turn over every rock out there to find someone who is capable of contributing. That's a nice thing to have once we are a consistent player with the more highly regarded recruits in our recruiting regional areas. It gives us the ability to shoot for the big fish without being overly anxious about fall back plans or Plan "B" type recruits. Based on what I've seen so far with Marrone's staffs, their Plan "B" type recruits may be the best Plan "B" recruits in America.
