I dunno man, there was no individual player as good as Ayo in that class, but our 2013 class as a whole was probably stronger than this one. And if we end up in the fall with the equivalent of Black and Finke I'd be thrilled.
Groce came in and in short order added Ray Rice, Malcolm Hill, Kendrick Nunn and Leron Black. Major conference difference makers all. Those teams should have been much, much better than they were.
(And as to the claim that Underwood has brought in a better recruit than Groce ever did, that's true, but Ayo is #32 in the RSCI and JCL was #37. Leron was #46. Pretty marginal. It's gonna be about what we can get out of our talent, as always.)
