And I would agree that Shaw has consistently had true frosh contributors, but I would also think that for the most part their contributions have not affected the won-loss column.

I think that the three most likely exceptions to that rule are Carter, Meeks, and Herbig.
But three possiblies over six years does not seem to indicate one should count on the most recent years frosh class to color the essence of a team.

Hm, I'd say McCaffrey clearly affected the W-L column down the stretch in 2014. (10 touches against Utah; 5 against the 59ers; 12 against UCLA; 8 against Maryland). Love swung the UCF game. Phillips didn't accumulate a lot of stats but was an important cog for the 2014 defense for half the year (injury made him step up).

I'd bump it up to four or perhaps five possibilities over six years -- pretty close to one per year.
