You can't win 'em all. Even with relatively decent success in recruiting over the past decade, some top end recruits won't pan out. Luckily, there are also some unheralded commits that turn into stars.
Being a firm believer in #STARZ, when Jared asked me to write something for the BSD Anniversary series I immediately thought of what recruiting article I could come up with. Having spent the past ten years arguing with many of you over the relative merits of the future Nittany Lions each year, a Hits/Misses piece seemed appropriate.
First, the disclaimer. The recruiting classes used was kind of a fluid analysis; during the life of BSD (2006-2016), there have obviously been 11 recruiting classes.
