My take on the assistants recruiting skills:

- Jeff Quinn - having a rough year this year (as of now) but can turn it around with Spindler and some luck. Remember, he signed one of the best OL classes in the country two years ago
- Lance Taylor - Shipley was a big loss, but Taylor is known as an elite recruiter
- Del Alexander - pretty good recruiter, not elite level at this point
- John McNulty - very, very impressed with early returns on him so far
- Tommy Rees - think he will be one of the best recruiters in the country very soon
- Mike Elston - elite recruiter, no question
- Clark Lea - becoming an elite recruiter
- Tommy Joseph - very good recruiter so far
- Mike Mickens - still early, but looking like he can be an elite recruiter
- Brian Polian - results speak for themselves
