Absolutely. You can go back further as Riley's first class was a hodge podge of guys because he, too, got a late start after Pelini was fired. I believe those guys are seniors now. The Bo firing along with Riley's short stint and subsequent firing along with Frost's first hodge podge of recruits has been very bad from a recruiting standpoint because of two "half assed" classes. Throw in guys who left and it's no wonder this team has a talent issue along with a lack of depth.
The difference was most of the Pelini recruits stayed committed. Riley's class was a sinking ship before he got fired.
But you bring up some very good points.
