At least we're lucky enough that all the ones that are still here are Juniors and Redshirt Sophomores, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

By my quick math, out of 23 signees;
Transferred (or soon to be): 11
NFL: 2
Significant contributor (not including the NFL guys who): 8
non-significant contributor (not including transfers): 2 (I'm only counting Campbell and Reed)

So 10 out of 23 were significant contributors for UM. That seems like a very low number but I could be wrong. And of those 10, many played a lot but were just not very good. If we really broke this down to how many players developed and played as we expected, I would argue only: Brevin, Nesta, Harris, Scaife, mallory, Rousseau, and Miller. That is 7 out of 23, which is less than 33%. Blades is a challenge to classify as to whether he has been as good as hoped. If we include Blades then we reach 8 out of 23 which is slightly better than 33%.

I do not think this is good by any measuement.
