Overall, I'm impressed with the overall quality talent we've brought in, mostly 3* which means that we'll have some quality depth in the coming years. The gamebreakers will come eventually, but I think you win more with developing your mid-level talent and complimenting it with 1 or more "gamebreakers".
It seemed Bobby would get about 1/3 or 1/4 of the class in the 4/5* range and then just fill in the rest with lower quality talent. When a starter would go down, we'd be relatively screwed, especially along the lines.
It seems that we don't have the high ceiling of a Smoker/Rogers/Duckett, but the overall quality of talent seems to be improving, we saw frosh and back-ups (Nitchman, Cironi, Oren Wilson, of course Jones and Gordon) step in and make solid contributions.
Just my 2 cents, but I think we'll be looking good in the coming years.

Agreed. I think we will struggle next season to some extent because of this approach, but
is building a great base. Honestly if we make a bowl game again next season I think
deserves a big raise. My expectations will be raised starting 09-10.
