I believe you have to look at 4 classes to see the results of any one team. Our National Championship in 2014 was not the result of 1 recruiting class, it was a combination of 4 classes.
And within these 4 classes, we had dismissals, injuries, departures, transfers, etc. When I put those classes together, here's what it told me.
It's not perfect science, just an attempt to look at Urban's recruiting as a whole and relish in his successes.
Boy, would I like to see James Clark or Johnny Dixon on the field, When you look yourself, who are your players that stand out to you, here and gone?
