I liked Elston a lot and thought he and Freeman together would have taken our defensive line play to the next level. As we all know, the star rating system isn’t the be all end all for assessing recruiting. Getting complimentary players and complimentary back to back years, and developing these players is all part of the job, and it’s a bit premature to judge Washington And compare his 1 1/2 yrs to Elston’s 5 plus years. Thus far, I am encouraged, but not blown away by Washington’s level of recruiting and player development.
