That is a group of studs. Some of Withers' first recruiting class were holdovers from Matthews' commits but I can't remember who
I've got those 7 plus Urquhart. He was one of MM's 1st class of 2014 commits. Stayed committed to JMU after MM was fired and EW was hired. Here's what I've got:
Offense: Listed 13, since Johnson & Marshall are practically co starters at RB, and
once Alls comes back I assume he'll replace Stapleton in the starting lineup which would make it 9 EW recruits, 2 MM recruits, 2 MH recruits.
-Schor (rSr) (EW recruit)
-Cardon Johnson (rSr) (MM Recruit)
-Marshall (Jr, 2017 GT transfer) (MH recruit)
-Riley Stapleton (rSo) (EW recruit)/-Alls (rSr, 2016 Duke transfer) (MH recruit)
-Miller (Sr) (EW recruit) Recruited by JMU before MM fired, originally committed to RU, changed to JMU after Withers hired.
-Hyman (rSr, 2014 Kansas transfer (EW recruit)
-Stapleton (rSo) (EW recruit)
-Kloosterman (EW recruit)
-Stinnie (rSr, MM recruit)
-Other 4 starting OL (EW recruits)
Defense: 6 MM recruits, 3 MH recruits, 2 EW recruits.
-Urquhart (Sr) (MM recruit). One of MM's 1st class of 2014 commits. Stayed committed to JMU after MM fired and EW hired.
-Ankrah (rSr) (MM recruit)
-Robinson (rSr) (MM recruit)
-Darrious Carter (rJr, 2016 UVA transfer) (MH recruit)
-Hawkins (rSr) (MM recruit)
-Little (rSo, 2017 UMD transfer) (MH recruit)
-Maginley (So) (MH recruit)
-Robinson (Jr) (EW recruit)
-Moreland (rJr) (EW recruit). Didn't commit to JMU until after EW hired)
-Brown (rSr) (MM recruit)
-Green (rSr) (MM recruit)
Overall
11 EW recruits
8 MM recruits
5 MH recruits
Its ironic how EW's recruits have suck a big stamp on the offense but not much on defense, and MM recruits have a big stamp on defense but not much on offense.
The 2 deep appears to be a plurality of EW recruits you assume that the majority of the second year guys that were signed out of HS/non transfer (about 10) were EW recruits who stayed committed to JMU after EW left & Houston was hired.
Next year the last of the MM recruits will be gone and it might be about an even mix of EW and MH recruits..
