I totally agree with the talent thing but he didn't really sustain it.
Tillman was his first class when hopes are high and recruiting to the imagination has no barriers. Year one is the easiest year to recruit to and then you have to produce to keep the momentum. Hud style.
Baldwin also brought in Dugas (or was it Stokley) but Bustle got rid of him as an example when I think he could have worked with him. Bustle also took year one recruiting way to easy (only 17 signees in a bare cupboard) and missed out on building a team around Babb.
I agree with you if the momentum keeps going some of Huds players will get drafted higher, and a bunch will get drafted period.
