How many do you need per class? You aren’t Bama, UGA or OSU. So don’t expect 4+ per year.

Indeed. If only every player was a legit 5 star player! Some programs do fairly well with 1 or 2... or none.
Looking at that list of players and what they have done at A&M I'd say they have more than enough talent. Maybe that talent has not been developed particularly well, but its not like A&M is having to settle for players that weren't up to the level of a program like Texas State.

Right. More would certainly be better. Green and Leal being the 5* upper classmen are consistently playing at a higher level than those around them. Coaching matters, but talent level does as well. We don’t have the talent level of a Georgia or Alabama. And we aren’t playing like we do. That simple.

What's more concerning is the sheer number of misses going back to 2016: (rankings are where they are ranked in the A&M class)
2016 class
2-Kellen Dietsch: 4 star OL who never played and transferred to Arizona State
5-Clyde Chriss: 4 star WR who transferred after 2 seasons
6-Travon Fuller: 4 star DB who barely played
2017 class
1-Anthony Hines: 4 star LB who didn't amount to much and opted out of 2020
2-Jhamon Ausbon: 4 star WR who was slow as frick and opted out of 2020
4-Derrick Tucker: 4 star DB who fell off the depth chart early
5-Hezekiah Jones: 4 star WR with 0 career TD catches
6-Grayson Reed: 4 star OL. Highest ranked in the class. Injury prone
2018
3-Colten Blanton: 4 star OL. Injury prone and retired
6-Jordan Moore: 4 star DB who transferred after year 1
7-Tank Jenkins: 4 star OL who was JAG (just a guy) and transferred
8-Jeremiah Martin: 4 star DL who transferred to UW
9-Jashaun Corbin: 4 star RB who now starts for FSU
10-James Foster: 4 star QB bust who now holds a clipboard at Charlotte
11-Caleb Chapman: 4 star injury prone WR
12-Vernon Jackson: 4 star RB who suffered a career ending neck injury
13-Luke Matthews: 4 star OL who, were he not the youngest son of Bruce Matthews, would be another JAG
2019
3-Baylor Cupp: 5 star TE who was supposed to be on the field at the same time as Wydermyer. Still hasn't happened
4-Dylan Wright: 4 star WR who transferred to Minnesota
9-Kam Brown: 4 star WR who transferred to UCLA
10-Elijah Blades: 4 star JUCO WR who transferred to Florida
14-KeShun Brown: 4 star LB who spent more time being a thug POS than making the depth chart
2020
7-Chris Morris: 4 star OL who got arrested and kicked off the team in 2021
2021
5-Shadrach Banks: 4 star WR who showed up to spring ball excessively fat then transferred to TCU. the only WR in the 2021 class which proves that A&M should NEVER offer North Shore players
