And both Solly and CMac came out early.

But it does speak to a relative lack of talent in last year's senior class, or maybe just a recruiting gap 4-5 years ago.  Our pool is so small, and it's hard to convert at a high rate every single time.

Hard to have a lot of talent when:

2012 -- the cream of that crop had already left/had eligibility exhausted
2013 -- had only 12 players, one of whom (Oser) had to medically retire.

Barring some improbably good luck it was pretty much predestined that the 2017 draft would have a ton of players picked.

Was there supposed to be a "not" in there?
