Bumphis wasn't one of the ones Croom was bringing in. Mullen is the reason he came to State. But the others, like Russell, Cox, Boyd, Banks, etc. were all already committed.

We may have lost some due to the year we had, but that doesn't really reflect poorly on Croom's recruiting. It still backs up the point that even with somebody like Croom, you can recruit well given that you're having success on the field.

Most of the talk about our compliance department and boosters is excuse-making. The reason we're not recruiting better is because we're not recruiting better, plain and simple.
