Not disagreeing there were 1-2 of these situations per class, such as McCray or Deries Hodge. My view is it wasn't that different than Turner's tenure, with guys like Ismail Abdunafi. I also think it was a different time, with graduate success rate/academic progress rate becoming a bigger thing and coaches having to adjust to higher academic standards for incoming recruits and greater emphasis on their college success. Zook took some chances, mostly because he was able to "fish" in a better pool of talent than others, but I think it was over-stated on the risks he took compared to his predecessors.
