Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 33014, member: 363"] So you admit that we have crap facilities? I thought GROB was a decent recruiter for how bad we were on the field. Marrone certainly hasn't been lights out here. Edsall and he admits it himself doesn't enjoy recruiting or deal with the BS that goes along with it. My point was Edsall was getting more talent than people thought he was and it showed with what they sent to the NFL. You may say GROB outrecruited him but I think the end product would prove otherwise, how many kids did we compete with UCONN for? very few, that is because Edsall didnt recruit as hard as many. You can't use Edsall as the barometer for recruiting because he didn't work at it that hard and admitted it. MY point was they have decent facilities because they had or had nothing else. How many kids are going to the NFL that GROB recruited even after playing for Marrone. If you are going to really take the next step you need to recruit with the big boys for 3-5 kids a year, we can fill in with the plan everywhere else or we can be like UCONN with Edsall, and for that (Better than Edsall's UCONN) we need facilities I think Marrone needs to and is following in Edsall's footsteps in a few ways but he needs to get a few higher end skill guys every year , somehow someway. I like the NYS kids and the FL kids but they are going to be very raw. The issue is where we need the most help, wr/rb we should be able to find kids that could make an immediate impact, which comes back to my original post what is Marrone's ceiling? Whatever the university wants it to be, IMO. Keep putting lipstick on a pig and you will have Randy Edsall's UCONN, not the worset thing in the world but not a Top 20 program. You need steak and potatoes but you also need a little bit of glitz this day and age. Just the world we live in. [/QUOTE]
