Respectfully disagree with you, Mr Quarterman. It will certainly impact some recruits, no doubt. But others may want to prove to themselves they are as good or better than the best and still come. Plus some just want to be at the U, especially if it's winning with a winning coach, especially local kids. I think Duke Johnson comes to Miami even if Portis, Gore, McGahee are all on the team. It's just the nature of that kid. Finally, a lot of kids, even the most elite, just aren't at their peak going into college and need a year or two to develop before producing at a high level on a BCS team. Chad Thomas and AQM are good examples of that. They might come to get the chance to study under a great coach like Kool and practice against future 1st rounders. So yes, we will lose some. But we should gain others. Overall, I think quality can be maintained year in, year out.
