re: Recruiting Myth: O is bringing in recruits like never before

In Miles' last 3 years, he finished #2 (2014), #5 (2015), and #2 (2016).

2014 Average: .9125
2015: .8991
2016: .9135

2014 and 2016 had 26 recruits before the 25 player cap. You can backfill which is why Bama has 28 spots this year and will have a larger total point margin over the rest. Also due to the rankings of their recruits course.

2019: Currently .9118 - Most remaining targets are higher so likely we finish higher.

2014 was a very good class with guys like Fournette and Adams, but 3 of our highest ranked recruits didn't pan out (Garrett, Quinn and Valentine). D. Williams, Chark, Gage and others made a good class of mid level recruits that performed well.

2015 had studs Guice, Tolliver, Jackson and Key, but top recruits #2 Tyron Johnson, #3 Maea Teuhema and #8 Okeke were all disappointments.

2016 was a very solid class top to bottom. A good combination of studs and solid contributors. White, Greedy, Lawrence, Alexander, Cush, Fulton, Divinity, Logan, Sullivan and others. Savion was lost due to mary jane.

2017 contributors: Stevens, Chaisson, Deculus, Delpit, Shelvin, Phillips, Harris, Charles, Vincent, Taylor, Queen, Ferrell, Jefferson and others. Another very solid class despite a #7 ranking.

2018 will need another year or two to see how productive, but so far: Marshall, Joseph, Chase, Hines, Baskerville and Lewis have contributed as FR.
