Geesh
2015 roster included fifth-year players (Harbaugh recruits) who played significant roles: Kevin Anderson, Cajuste, Harris, Hogan, Wright
More than 5 guys on that team as I recall. And who got them to stay for a fifth year?
Yes there were another 5 or 6 Harbaugh recruits on the roster but they played backup roles or weren't even on the two-deep. My list was only starters.

Hogan was identified, recruited, and offered by Harbaugh. My friends and I sat next to his mother at the Orange Bowl as he was weighing his decision and she asked us a lot of questions.

What have those "top 20" classes gotten us in terms of roster depth and development as compared to previous years? Our roster is thinner, weaker, and softer and it shows in the win-loss column
