Would we have taken the likes of Pierce, Miller and Svoboda.

You could make that argument, but you'd certainly be in the minority and would ultimately lose that argument.
P5 schools lose kids ALL the time when the coach leaves. So yes, we would have probably still lost 2 recruits.
YES, Archie would still have left.
Pierce, Miller and Svoboda? Who knows, but the first year of recruiting for a new coach is always going to be tough, since he's working hard to try and keep what was committed, yet still find decent resources that late to fill in for those that do leave.
