Butch's recruiting

[batesjj]

Here is a quick look back at Butch's first 3 recruiting classes (still early to judge the last 2). Butch definitely got some studs, but his classes have been overrated and very injury-prone (as @acolli05 pointed out in a post yesterday). Thoughts? Has Butch just done a poor job of developing talent and keeping guys in the program? Did he just sign highly-rated guys without proper evaluation and consideration of injury history? Does this talent equate to that of a top-10 or top-25 program?
