...the quality of the recruits he had signed at VT or the fact that they all left with him?

Because if it's the quality, do you reconsider now knowing that we had a silent commit from McNeilly? That would have been a big increase in quality. Do you reconsider seeing how Buzz wanted all those kids? I think we thought they weren't ACC caliber recruits, or most of them, so him taking them with him to aTm (and ditching guys on his team to do so) seems to negate the argument that they weren't good enough players.

If you are talking about how they all left with him, isn't that expected? That we were able to keep Nolley is a huge win. Seems that all the other jobs that transitioned led to most if not all of their recruits leaving as well.

If Buzz had stayed, not sure I see how the cupboard was bare. That they all left with Buzz was expected.
