Auburn had pretty good recruiting under Chiz.

Wow, that's an extremely long time frame to use as a data point. Not sure if I have time to delve down that deeply.

Chizik was an excellent recruiter every year he was at Auburn.
I don't think Sumlin = Chizik, but I do think Sumlin will have to be extremely careful to avoid the pitfalls that have doomed many coaches in this league who grew to star power extremely quickly. The sustaining part is very difficult if you do not have the experience and respect required to control 85 players who now think they are gods and nothing can take them down. If one or two players become bigger than the program, Sumlin will fall just as fast as Chizik and Meyer did. This league is extremely unforgiving to any team that lacks discipline and focus. Talent alone will give you 6-7 wins in this league because every team is talented.

'Crootin websites said Gene was a good recruiter too. FWIW, I've made this comparison several times. The only difference is that Gene recruited Cam and he was more successful.

Look at Auburns, didn't help them too much did it?

I think one season is REALLY too early to tell.
Chizik had good classes too, to be fair.
