The guy couldn’t outcoach his way out of a paper bag but he could evaluate and recruit. Duke Johnson, Gus Edwards, Rayshawn Jenkins, Hurns, Herndon. These are all guys who are NFL players. There are plenty more. I dont see the playmakers on this team.
Duke wasn't an evaluation. He was obvious. Same with Flowers, Bush, Howard. Credit for signing them though. Jenkins was a Dorito eval. Credit given. Edwards, meh. Did nothing at UM and had to leave to get burn. No credit. Hurns and Herndon, good evals.
If you're looking at evals, however, you have to remember Golden signed >125 kids, so you can't say he was good at evals based on a handful.
What about Larry Hope, Vernon Davis, Nate Dortch, R. Mayes, Knowles, K. Hester, M. Gayot at DB?
What about Brandon Loftus, Bar Milo, Jahair Jones, Hayden Mahoney, Gall, Knighton at OL?
What about Jalen Grimble, Dequan Ivery, Briscoe, E. Moore, J. Brown, R. Fines on DL?
What about Jerome Washington and J. O'Donnell at TE?
Danny Dillard at FB? D'Mauri Jones, Jontaveous Carter at WR?
