I see a lot of post about this staff missing on defensive players so here's a list who I consider misses and then a list of who left early or kicked off due to whatever reason.
13 class- not sure which players were actually recruited by this staff as it was half full already but here.
Alex Brignoni-injured, no longer plays
T. Coleman(miss)
D. Coley- been moved to OLB but good special teams player
Melvinson Hartfield- left before first season
K. Marks- will never play(miss)
M. Tavarres-left, honors at new school
14 class
Anthoney Brown- transferring(miss)
Chris Murphy- left for Cincy after spring ball
R. Ramsey- would've started this year, academics.
Jake Hall- doesn't sound like will play but everyone new he was a project.
15 class seems to be the best as most players are highly rated and talked about.
I'm sure some will add in Eugene and K. Hacket but they will be in their 3rd year next season and both have played.
I see Hacket as having all the ability but not catching on mentally, he's very fast for his size and we hear covers well but can't read blocks yet.
So we have 10 players total in 3 classes that can be considered a miss while 1 would've started and was referred to as freakish(Ramsey), 2 that left before ever had a chance to play, 2 transfers, 1 medically can't play, and 2 that to this point only ST players(1 being a Juco).
All in all not bad IMO considering the first class was thrown together and half full before BB arrived and the 2nd class coming off a 3-9 year.
This is about what you can expect under the circumstances.
Let's hope the very deep and talented 15 class on D pays off.
Total 4 missed unless you consider a kid leaving a miss, medically can't play, and academics
