I disagree that's why it was ranked that way. Most of that ranking came from 2 of the 4*'s, Lock and TBJ. Strong didn't even qualify.
The class itself looks pretty good honestly.
Contributing players from 2015:
Emanuel Hall looks pretty good wouldn't you say?
Terez Hall looks to be our best LB
Terry Beckner Jr looks to be our best DT
Tyler Howell was a starter till recently (still don't know the reason for this)
Jonathan Johnson has been a good WR in the slot
Marcell Frazier is our best DE
Perkins is a starting Safety
Corey Fatony has been the MVP
and of course Drew Lock
2015 class has been very adequate. Every class has attrition and guys who don't qualify or get booted.
The problem is the 2014 Class:
28 Commits
Witter
Wilson
Lee
Cheadle
Pendleton
Blanton
Only 6 guys who see the field
That was the class that tanked this team.
Odom's 16/17 classes are too early to tell, a lot are getting snaps, but a lot of them look underwhelming and lacking speed/talent/strength, what I would expect from classes that barely broke the top 50.
Odom's defensive recruits have been pretty underwhelming.

You can disagree with rivals if you want but Strong counted toward the average star rating and composite scores the class. Beckner was the only 4* in the class not rated as a 5.8. Lock's overall impact on the class score was the same as the other players.

You are moving the goal posts. This has nothing to do with the 2015 recruiting rankings.

The issue isn't just one class.
The previous staff recruited 27 total linemen from 2013-2015. 18 are no longer on the roster and only 4 are starters. Teams that win in this league don't have that kind of miss rate in the trenches. Especially teams built on talent development.
I do think this team, particularly the back end of the defense, has been poorly coached/prepared. I also don't think that the 66% miss rate on linemen and overall LB recruiting can be shrugged off.
It's going to take care of itself one way or another.

Odom's defensive recruits are either FR or SO.
If you are in the business of developing, which we are, then you really don't know yet.

I agree with TigerCruise's first post on this thread.
