So, we have these lopsided recruiting classes and have for a long time. I get why. We have a certain # leaving each year and it just kind of turns out that way. Then it continues because 4-5 years later that small class graduates. But here's what I don't get...
Last year we took 24, which is a big class. This year we can take... I dunno how many, I just know it's small. Wouldn't it have been wiser to save a couple of last year's scholarships for really good players this year instead of offering 6 2-star players? (Let's just assume for a minute that stars mean everything and those players aren't all diamonds in the rough... and obviously we needed Brown. Then there's Bush when we needed a QB last minute because Darlington got injured).
Or does every team just stack and take the max each year even if they get a lot of less-talented players to top off the years where they have a lot of scholarships?
