I mentioned this in the Wiafe thread but thought it deserved its own thread. For the three Flood recruiting classes in 2013-2015, there are 30 players who left school for non-injury reasons (or never made it to campus) and never made any material contribution on the field:
From the 2013 commit list, there are 9 such players (not including Wiafe since he actually played the past two years):
Devan Carter LB Rochester, NY 6'2" 220 5.4 1/29/13
Delon Stephenson ATH New Berlin, NY 5'11" 170 5.5 11/23/12
Lester Liston LB Chatham, VA 6'1" 219 5.6 9/8/12
B. Gross-Armiento DB Plantation, FL 6'1" 188 5.6 8/25/12
Nick Internicola LB Fort Lauderdale, FL 6'3" 230 5.7 7/4/12
Josh Klecko DT Red Bank, NJ 6'2" 260 5.4 6/28/12
Taylor Marini TE Lake Mary, FL 6'4" 227 5.5 6/27/12
Dontea Ayres RB Middletown, DE 5'9" 205 5.5 5/26/12
Nadir Barnwell ATH Piscataway, NJ 6'0" 190 5.8
From the 2014 commit list, 12 guys:
Sam Blue LB Raleigh, NC 6'3" 230 5.2 2/3/14
Darian Dailey DB Bradenton, FL 5'10" 172 5.3 2/2/14
Andre Boggs DB Avon, CT 6'0" 170 5.5 10/24/13
Jacob Kraut RB Neptune Beach, FL 5'11" 240 5.6 6/21/13
Donald Bedell DE Rumson, NJ 6'4" 229 5.6 6/20/13
Logan Lister TE Katy, TX 6'5" 240 5.5 6/16/13
George Behr TE Woodbury, MN 6'5" 230 5.4 6/15/13 (he was probably mostly an injury issue, but not sure he would have played here anyway)
Kamren Lott DB Jacksonville, FL 5'10" 180 5.6 5/23/13
Jacquis Webb OL Rochester, NY 6'5" 310 5.5 4/7/13
Sidney Gopre LB Newark, NJ 6'0" 190 5.6 3/5/13
Justin Nelson LB Wayne, NJ 6'1" 235 5.6 2/28/13
Cal Ibanez OL Fullerton, CA 6'5" 325 0 5/12/14
And from the 2015 commit list, 10 guys (though Gopre is listed again here)
Jack Shutack OL La Grange Park, IL 6'5" 285 5.5 2/3/15
Najee Clayton DB Paramus, NJ 6'3" 215 5.6 1/27/15
Sidney Gopre LB New Berlin, NY 6'1" 210 5.6 10/15/14
Jarius Adams DB Palm Beach Gardens, FL 5'11" 175 5.5 7/18/14
Dontae Owens WR Reading, PA 6'0" 180 5.4 6/26/14
Anthony Folkerts TE Valdosta, GA 6'5" 214 5.5 6/15/14
Ron'Dell Carter DE Columbia, MD 6'2" 234 5.2 4/21/14
Michael Dare QB Elmwood Park, NJ 6'5" 205 5.7 2/8/14
Marques Ford DE Gibsonton, FL 6'3" 222 5.8
Al-Kadair Ports DB Newark, NJ 6'2" 195 5.4 4/16/14
So that's 30 guys over three recruiting classes that left school for non-injury reasons, and note that I'm not including guys who are still with the team but who will likely never see the field. That is a STUNNING statistic, and directly explains the lack of depth we have in most position groups.
