In response to Old Bear
It is interesting that Dunphy got so much more credit from the Penn folk for last year's Penn champs than Miller gets from the Brown folks for last year's and this year's Bear "overachievers."
Assuming Huffman makes first team All-Ivy this year (McAndrew is a given) that would give Miller recruits 10 first-team all-Ivy nods during his time at Brown (Hunt 3x, Forte 3x, McAndrew 2X, Nu 1x and Huffman 1X). Throw in the four 2nd-teamers, a ROY and a POY and that's a pretty impressive recruiting run during his time in Providence (although we're expecting him to do better at Penn). And that number would have been even greater (and you might have gotten a title) if Jeppesen had stayed when Robinson came on board.
It's clear how fond you are of Sullivan and Williams may become a very good player but the two All-Ivy seniors, Skrelja and Friske are not only Miller guys, they're all guys who emerged under Miller - they're not guys who sat on the bench until Robinson recognized their talent. And Mullery, I believe, was also a Miller recruit.
Craig Robinson did a good job this year but he benefitted by a stacked group of upperclassman recruited by his predecessor.
