On the Decline:
Hayden Rettig – needs at least three years to develop. This isn’t necessarily bad news; however, because he will have the time to develop, and has a great QB coach in Cameron to learn from
Maquedius Bain – very raw project. Will need at least a couple years to develop. Least talented of the DL we took last year IMO.
Duke Riley – I don’t see him as a game changer, but that’s not a bad thing. Teams aren’t just built from stars, and some guys are good for morale and work ethic. Could see him being a solid special teamer
Jeryl Brazil – I don’t know how he will fit into Camerons offense, and I think there is just too much overwhelming talent in our backfield for him to overcome. I see him as KR, and a partial utility guy
Greg Gilmore – Not as high as most people are on him. He has real potential, but could use the work. IMO it is Herron>LaCouture>Gilmore>Bain
Overall Analysis:
Though our class was not ranked very high last year, I honestly believe we were vastly underrated(I do my best to be unbiased and realistic). More importantly, we did a great job filling NEED positions. Our best recruits by position were respectively the Oline, then DE,*best two with a considerable gap and all the rest followed by LB, CB, QB, TE. It was quite defensively heavy, which is why I think we will take more offensive guys this year.

This class was on boss status.

I certainly don't think brazil and Gilmore are on the decline. I think Herron will be forced to contribute more then you thnk and will turn some heads.
I think you got most of it right though. Brazil WILL play

You didn't include all recruits, but I agree overall with your assessment. I am very high on this class that we were able to pull. It wasn't nearly as highly rated as some classes we have signed in years past, but I think it will prove a superb base for our future (especially with the massively talented 2014 class coming in). Many big time players signed at need positions.
