Considering how disastrous this class was, it's amazing that the current roster is still good enough to compete in 2016.

Richt deserves a lot of credit for managing the rooster and trimming the fat.

When its all said and done 2015 will be the worst class in History of Cane football.
 
2012 was a while ago in class years. That class is almost off the books at this point for all the reasons you mentioned. Ofcourse another year they are off the books due to time.

What class did we sign Kirby Freeman? If Im not mistaken that was like top 4 class, that ended up flopping worse than the Canes and Gators did in Omaha this year.
 
Coker and Shannon had some horrific classes. 2010 was pretty awful.

2015 was also not great but good enough at the top with Walton, Johnson, Redwine, Norton, McIntosh, St. Louis, Cager that it might not be the worst ever.
 
I'm gonna get crazy and say Duke & Flowers careers at Miami were just a little better than "good/decent"

2005 will always be the worst class for me - https://miami.n.rivals.com/commitments/football/2005

We were still on top, and got a small class of 17 guys. Just Kenny Phillips and a bunch a role players. Not one QB/RB/WR skill position player in that class. That should NEVER happen at Miami in any year.

Josh Witt had concussion issues that derailed his career. Never know how he could have wound up. Pat O'Donnell? Guy might have been our MVP that year, and is doing a solid job for the Bears.

Picking the worst recruiting class the last 10 or 12 years is like ranking the top 10 Canes ever only a lot more painful. SO many horrible classes . so many great players.
 
That's Jake O'Donnell. DE who never did anything.

I knew Pat when I used to train as a kicker with him. Hes a freak athlete who ran track. I went to his hs to watch his tryout when Coach Richt was scouting him for Georgia. Didnt talk to him but wish I had. Richt said he wasnt accurate enough which makes sense as he didnt do field goals in college. Hes a **** of a punter and I root for him in Chicago

You sure about that? The 2010 class has quite a few players on NFL rosters.

Counting misses there is no comparison to what should have been...Randy's number one class where he basically took an entire state championship team, complete with Jacory as QB, will rank as a low point for four years that ended up with his dismissal...
