This is why UD struggles as a program. A great player in our backyard won't even consider UD. UD has not been able to land great talent for a long time. A diamond in the rough here and there is not proof of great consistent recruiting.
Is Chris Mack a great coach? Who knows, but better players make the pressure to develop and outsmart opponents a lot easier.
Archie took 3 overlooked players and turned their internal drive into incredible assets. They had defensive intensity that carried them. If they were better offensive players, they never would have looked at UD and perhaps not been as good defensively. That formula worked for that class. Then a class later it did not work.
Was Archie a good or bad recruiter? The bigger issue is what coaches have to do to overcome the reputation of UD as not a big time player.
