[Husker] Doc Lack of Talent

[Merlin Green]

I feel I need to address the idea that Collier left Doc nothing to work
with when we left.  That is just flat out wrong.

Here is a list of players that Doc inherited when he got here.

Chris Balham
Aleks Maric
Marcus Perry
Charles Richardson
Mike Smith
Marcus Walker
Jamel White
Kyle Marks
Paul Velander

Just because Doc has a real talent for running players off cannot be put on
Collier.  And even then, Maric, Perry & Richardson were a pretty good
nucleus.
Collier also had a recruit named Roburt Sallie.  So to say that Doc
inherited a big mess is just wrong.  Most of the mess is of Doc own doing.
Also Balham and Marks
had injury problems, but that is not Collier's fault either.
