The problem was that there was no middle ground with this class, besides Dave Patterson. If you look at the 2002 or 2004 classes, you have a few non-contributors but not a lot of troublemakers or departures. You had a lot of miscreants in 2003 and the careers of Lukens/Jordan were killed by injuries.
9 of the signees contributed about 150 yards of offense and 20 career tackles between them.
