Kevin Brown, Bruce f'ing Davis, Brigham Harwell, Trey Brown, Joe Cowan, Patrick Cowan, Brian Price, Chris Horton (NFL), Dennis Keyes (remember him?), Michael Pitre, Matt Slater (remember him?), And Rodney Van, Christian Taylor, Brandon Breazell, Marcus Everett, Chris Markey, Ben Olson, Logan Paulson, Kyle and Korey Bosworth, Reggie Carter, Aaron Ware, Alteraun Verner, and Terrence Austin.

I'd say he had a bigger problem with player development than recruiting.

And, ya, he didn't bring in OL. When he got there, Toledo had just brought in, on paper, the best OL class in the nation. Maybe that slowed down Dorrell's recruiting of OL in his first couple of years. And, by his last couple of years, the jig was up. It was clear he couldn't coach.

But, if Foz brings in a talent pool over the next four years that is like what I've listed, I'll be quite happy.
