poor quarterback play, poor offensive execution, and struggles in the offensive line for a couple of seasons ,and in the front 6 defensively tip the scales against you quickly, but articles like this that make decisions about talent on a roster solely based upon the recruiting rankings is lazy and going to miss badly.

example, the frogs 2016, 2017, and 2018 classes were all rated as the 3rd best class in the conference ON PAPER. trouble is each one of those classes were plagued by a high number of players who either didn't qualify, transferred out, or have had injury issues that impaired theri ability to contribute or in some cases ended careers.

20 of the 64 signing from those 3 classes are no longer on the active roster and 4 others have had injuries that have kept them from contributing. curious where those classes would rank if you rated them on the 44 players who are still in the program versus the original 64.

additionally, the frogs 2015-2018 classes were light in offensive line and front 6 defenders among their top 10 highest rated recruits . things really jump up a few notches when a number of those recruits in those key areas transfer out or have injuries that set back careers.

there is no one class among those 4 classes were the 3 highest rated recruits made significant contributions to the frogs on the field. in fact, only 2 of those 12 (jalen reagor and sewo olonilua) would be considered impact players. 4 of the 12 ( deshawn raymond, isaiah chambers, omar manning, justin rogers) have left the program and 3 of the 12 have had their careers curtailed by injuries ( brandon bowen, wes harris, atanza vonger)

the 2019 and 2020 classes have provided reasons for hope.

first there are legitimately 6 of the top 10 recruits from the 2019 class who have flashed potential and 11 of the top 20 recruits play in the offensive line and front 6

The defense has had some misses, but plays above their overall ability level. The offense, on the other hand, no bueno. The perform below what they are capable of.
