Is another possibility that this small group did not establish the real and virtual (twitter) esprit de corps that might have existed in last years class?  That if you have a small class, the only way to steal some last minute recruits is to really have a buzz about the class that is in part due to members of that class firing up the group?  And you have a smaller chance of having a couple of these team "whips" if you have a smaller class?

Sometimes you hear of recruiting classes being filled with characters whose enthusiasm fires everyone up.  Is it possible that this class is a bunch of calm quiet leaders and maybe we simply didn't land a sparkplug or two?
