I would say so on offense, but what is considered stepping up when you are out of the top 100?
On defense, Wilson, Tabor, Maye, Brantley, Davis and Anzalone were not Mac's guys. Who are we really talking about? Reece, Jefferson and Gardner are the only ones that appear to be better than average.
Add Clark, Cox, Bryan, Harris, Washington, McMillan, and Dawson.
Some of McElwain's recruits certainly added depth...but to say Muschamp's recruits didn't contribute "late in the season" is 100% wrong. Sure, Zuniga, CeCe, Polite and a few others added some quality to our D...but why wouldn't they? He's been here 2 years, so of course some of "his" recruits are going to play/start. I'm sure Harbaugh and all the other 2nd year coaches out there have some of "their" players contributing after only 2 years....it's college football, they only have 4 or 5 years (so 40% or 50% of their career). Silly statement saying Muschamp's D players didn't have a major part in the late season.
