Here are the classes of 2014 and 2015 recruits. In a mature, developed program these would be the core of this years team. It would be the RS-Sr's and RS Jr's who would provide experienced leadership.
Class of '14 had some really good players that got pressed into action and never had a chance to RS. PJ, Terrell Bush, Matt Schmidt, Antonio Wilcox...
Other than that I've "bolded" the players that I feel are starters or key contributors to this years squad.

That's 11 players either starting or contributing this year from 36 signees. If you add PJ, Bush, Schmidt and Wilcox that's a success rate of 15 players out of 36 from across those 2 classes.
I think we saw the effect of that on Saturday.
Lots of youth, still having to throw true-Fr into the fire, with the corresponding struggles.
Last year we took two steps forward, this year might be a step back as the roster still needs alot of work.
