@the_hermanator - Blair locked the other thread down before I could respond to this post of yours:
I think the 2005 class is a great example of what powerful recruiting does. There were numerous "flops" in that class and it is still, arguably, KF's most productive class from top to bottom.

I'd argue that the class of 2000 might be the most productive of the KF era. Lots of guys that won two Big Ten Championships and some guys that are flat out legends:
Jonathan Babineaux
Kelvin Bell
Charlie Bodiford
David Bradley
Aramis Haralson
Warren Holloway
Tony Jackson
Jhante Jones
Nate Kaeding
George Lewis
Jermelle Lewis
Marqueas McLaurin
Aaron Mickens
Derrick Pickens
Derreck Robinson
Fred Russell
BOB SANDERS
Benny Sapp
Andy Thorn
Scott Webb
Kevin Worthy
I count 14 of these 21 guys that were multi-year contributors/starters for a 66% hit rate. Thoughts?
