The problem, as I see it, is some coaches are able to recognize and develop underrated 2* talent. Edsall proved capable. Diaco has not. So attributing that success to "UConn" rather than the coaches is flawed. And to expect what Edsall was able to accomplish to continue regardless of who is the coach, again, flawed, as evidenced by the performance on the field.
No evidence on Diaco.
Can you say he never will be as good an evaluator as Edsall? Sure. Can you say he might be a better evaluator (with his total staff)? Sure.
The January 2014 pickups are just not a good view of what Diaco does with recruiting. And the 2* talent (or 3* on more favored ESPN), tells little. We will get the first indication of what he did on Feb. 4 in about October; with whispers in August. I really really hope that Tyler Davis is a home run. If we just got one QB that is ahead of the curve, I would feel a lot better.
