What a bunch of nonsense! McElwain will recruit who he can get, and if they are the best player, he'll take them, regardless of their measurements. Martez Ivey doesn't weigh 300 pounds, so I guess McElwain didn't get the right ingredient for his "recipe" when he took him. Of course you want the biggest players you can get, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the best. Every coach in America would take the taller, heavier player if he's as good as a smaller player. If you can get a big receiver like Calvin Johnson, great, but everyone wants those players, not just McElwain. The "recipe" is the same at every school in America, everyone wants bigger, faster, stronger, etc. But that doesn't mean you turn down smaller players like Ivey, who are better players than some yokel who weighs 330. Only one offensive lineman from last years class, Sandifer, was north of 300 lbs. If you don't think McElwain would trade Isaiah Johnson, who's a 6'3" receiver commit, for 5'8" Sam Bruce in a heartbeat, you are not paying attention. Everyone wants the same players, the problem right now is that McElwain is getting his butt kicked in recruiting right now, just compare the competition.
