ON3 did a study and came up with this:
Over Marrows tenure he has had about 30 % of recruits directly tied to him have one or more starts. He has had about 1 per year considered 'star' recruits...Dane Key being the last.
This is over 11 years.
In comparison, 45% of J Sumralls recruits were starters at one time or another.
This particular article gave indication that Vince was wildly popular, extremely well thought of and more than mildly entertaining.
Due to those positives, the fact that he wasn't quite as huge a genius in recruiting hugely successful players as we think is overlooked.
AND that statistic may also show where he had lost some of his sway with the program.
