You are completely missing the point. Everyone talks sh!t about how terrible Wulff was at recruiting but his 2010 class (whether he coached them or not) kicks the hell out of the 2014 class. More NFL level talent, more contributors and just a better class by far.
From 2011, Paulo and Williams signed UDFA agreements with NFL teams, Monroe was heavily involved until he left (244 tackles in 37 games), Myers was a longtime starter, and Forbes signed an UDFA with the Packers. Hell the 2011 class is only a step behind that 2014 class and again, ain't nobody singing Paul Wulff's praises (well, maybe ED).
Every time you talk about how great the 2014 class was, it just shows that you have a complete lack of objectivity on the subject.
The 2014 class accomplished more at WSU then the 2010 class did period.
2014 won more games period. They just did.
You live in this fantasy world where a class is what the roster must play. No. NO. NO. That's not how it works.
That's how juice box everybody participates "Wulff football works".
Class A - 22 players. The very BEST players make it into the starting line up. Since it is the first class lets say it has 22 players contribute. 11 on offense 11 on defense.
Class B - 22 players - Now what you are supposed to do here is recruit BETTER players than you think you have from class A. Leach says himself. We are recruiting people to replace you. From class B let's say only 11 are better than Class A.
So there are 44 players on the team. But only half (11 from Class A) and Half from Class B are the very best. = 22 players.
Class C - 22 players. Let's say again only half the players coming in are better than the starters (11) and get a shot.
That's 11 players from Class C and 5 players from Class B and 6 Players from Class A
So at this point in year 3... how many players are still left from Class A contributing from the original 22? only 6! Is it a "DISASTER" NO. NO IT IS NOT. Because when you recruit to improve your starting lineup. People are going to be left behind. That's ALWAYS how it works.
Class D - 22 players - Let's say 6 players from this class are so good they make it in to contribute.
So now the starting lineup is comprised of
6 from Class D -
9 from Class C
4 players from Class B
3 players from class A
That's in the 4th year.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER 19 PLAYERS FROM CLASS A?!?!? IT'S A DISASTER CLASS!
NO NO N ONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's a class that got replaced by BETTER PLAYERS AS TIME PROGRESSED.
But where are the 19 players from Class A? Well..... They can Transfer...or quit..or just finish out their eligibility... and that's what happens.... This also doesn't take into account attention from grades or conduct.
That's why you recruit 25 people every single year. Because you are going to lose some players along the way. ESPECIALLY if you are winning more games as you go along and recruiting....better and better players.... only a few will be left from the original class.
(The very best ones). The Hercules, The Frankie Luvu, The Dillard, Keith Harrington etc.
Honestly go to the T-Ball forums Flat. Your brain can process that but it is very clear that collegiate level roster management and comprehension is way beyond your IQ level.
Seriously T-Ball. Juicebox. Orange Slices. That's good for you.
