If we add Richmond, and only Richmond, we will have 15 4 and 5 star recruits on 247 this cycle. Last year we had 17. So 32 in a two year span. We had 25 in 2011/2012/2013 combined.
So we went from having 8.33 per year to having 16 per year.
Here is the depth chart just from 2014/2015 4 and 5 star recruits (I included the potential and actual transfers, just to show the talent that has been added. They are noted with brackets and x's):
QB: Sheriron Jones, Quentin Dormady, Jauan Jennings
RB: Jalen Hurd, Alvin Kamara, [Derrell Scott(X)]
WR: Preston Williams, Josh Malone, Von Pearson
