I agree with you on guys like Mauro & Shittu but in those days they weren't forced to play earlier because there was a higher consistency & quality year in and year out. Which goes to part two - recruiting.

Agreed. Look at Hulk's list. Besides the 5* studs (Solly and Aziz Shittu), the rest of the Hart recruiting classes were...uh...quite pedestrian beyond Harrison Phillips. 3 good defensive linemen in 5 recruiting classes.


Recruiting under Reynolds:
2017 Ryan Johnson 4*, Dalyn Wade-Perry borderline 3/4*
2018 Thomas Booker 4*, Andres Fox 4* (holding out on hope for Tobe Umerah, borderline 3/4*, but it looks like he's staying at OLB)
2019 Joshua Pakola 4*

Reynolds can recruit. Give me 2-3 years to answer the development question.

To whoever asked what happened to Ryan Johnson, he's been hurt for much of his career, which hinders development.
