Thanks for the look back Jess. A star studded class and one of our top classes of all time (some could argue best).

Hard to say with Kelly. He had some legit medical issues that cut into his playing time. Similar to how Chris Lett was affected both here and after his transfer to USA. But on the other hand, I saw Kelly a couple of times in practice and he was having some issues adjusting to D-1 game speed.

I'm left to guess that Woodson's issues were academic in nature. He got frosh playing time, wasn't in the doghouse that I could tell and then abruptly transferred out even though he was going to be battling Will Lowery for one of the top DB roles.

Bowman ... sigh.
