Selvie was a negative 7 star recruit. No one wanted him. Allen was a quarterback. JPP was a beast... I'd contend that the other 2 were what we like to call "developed". Giddens was highly coveted, and I would bet my life that if Leavitt were here, he'd be a beast.
No, Leavitt did not have more talent, he got more out of the guys he had.
Exactly. We were virtual unknowns until 2007. Leavitt wasn't perfect but he was leaps and bounds better than holtz.
