If only Tom Herrion knew what talent was outside of the JuCo ranks. Stevie Browning would have played all 4 years in a Marshall uniform as would have Justin Johnson. Johnson was only 35 miles down the road in Hazzard KY (Go Bo, Luke, Uncle Jesse and Daisy) and wanted to come to Marshall. There are a few others Herrion wiffed on or should I say didn't even recruit.
Marshall 2012 recruiting class Stevie Browning should have been in:
Ryan Taylor 6'5 SF, played all 4 years as a starter
DD Scarver 6'2 JuCo SG, played here 1 year and transferred to Texas Southern
Elijah Pittman 6'8 Juco PF. played here both years but was a headcase
Tamron Manning 6'4 SG. played very sparingly for 2 years, transferred to KY Wes. when D'Antoni was hired
Kareem Canty 6'1 PG, Rated a 4 star PG and played one season at Marshall, was dismissed when D'Antoni became HC because of his twitter meltdown running not only the city of Huntington down but also Marshall University
Marshall 2014 recruiting class Justin Johnson should have been in:
Jay Johnson 6'7 SF, played one year and transferred to KY Wes with Tanron Manning, never played at KY Wes.
Shane Hall 6'8 PF, signed LOI to play arrived on campus and left 11 days later, never suited up or even practiced at Marshall
The only player on this list I would have taken over Stevie Browning is Ryan Taylor. And there is no doubt I would have been on Johnson before even looking at Jay Johnson or Shane Hall.
But then again if Herrion would have been that bright Marshall would have never got Dan.
