I personally think a lot of people are overreacting to the talent brought in by the new regime (or committed since then).
 
Rumor is Cooper has grade problems.  Moore is supposedly coming in as a TE, not as an OT.  Estime is fast, but I would be surprised if there wasn't some sort of clearinghouse issue, given his background.  
 
Hayes would have likely come here anyways.  Scissum was a ODU commit.  
 
Batten (likely Duke) and Winfield (Northern Illinois) are talent upgrades in my eyes that this class wouldn't have otherwise gotten.  
 
I don't know what to think of Kimble other then Doeren loved him enough to try and get him to 2 schools (NIU and NC State).
 
I mean, if McDonald didn't tweet, would people be going all crazy about the new players?
 
Especially when the guys lost, like Carter, Edwards, Z. Allen were all considered big time prospects for Syracuse.  
 
Losing Brantley, Whitehurst etc. have really hurt on past signing days.  I hope Malik Brown doesn't get added to that.  
 
I just think losing Anselmo was a death blow to NY recruiting and it is going to take Rob Moore time.  I wonder about Daoust as recruiting coordinator (if you don't think we are going into the midwest heavy, I don't know what to say - Adkins was RC and there was an emphasis on GA with a mini pipeline into CA, most of the current coaches have some sort of relationship in the midwest).  I think McDonald will be a good closer on the offensive side of the ball, but the question becomes are the position coaches as good recruiters as the previous staff?  I haven't seen enough to offer an answer one way or the other.
 
I hope I am wrong and these guys are as talented as the players Marrone brought in late in his first cycle (but keep in mind, Marrone flips were from Louisville, South Florida and beating Miami out for Tiller).
