Pretty well stated and remember Durkin recruited most of the talent that Chimp was given credit for......as for the 2012 defense which was damned good they were almost exclusively part of Meyers 2010 class and a few from 2009 like McCray, Jelani, Hunter and Bostic....I've about given up ever seeing a starting rotation up front like Floyd, Easley and Hunter and McCray...….can't you imagine how easy it was to call blitzes with those 4 beast upfront.....of course it also helped having 2 guys who were big, strong and fast as hell to man the middle and shutdown most anything sideline to sideline when teams tried to run....Jelani and Bostic cleaned up everything because we were solid as hell up front.Well, our defensive recruiting is basically a mirror image of the Chimp days, nothing but Buck/Rush linebackers and DBs.
