Not sure what sort of math you are using for the declaration in your first sentence as its simply not true.  I suggest people actually go look at the 2018 roster and the dates of commitment of those players before they argue this point or call something a lie.

In 2018, our leading Passer, Top 3 Rushers, and leading Receiver in were all SS recruits. 3 of the 5 starting OL were SS recruits.  On defense, 5 guys that started during 2018 we're SS recruits.  Also, our punter was a SS recruit (he also happens to be in the NFL).

My math tells me 6 SS recruits started on offense (7 if you count Neal when Strickland was hurt) and 5 guys started on defense.  That seems higher than 15% to me.  And this was in DB's 3rd year as head coach too so there weren't many guys left from the SS tenure.

Certainly, DB had to fill out the roster (or we wouldn't have had enough players) and many of his guys contributed too, including Robinson, Coleman, Cisco, Foster, Guthrie, and K. Martin to name a few.

Below are guys who I reference above as the SS recruits:

Offense - Dungey, Strickland, Neal, Custis, Conway, Roberts, Adams

Defense - Slayton, Whitner, Cordy, Bradshaw, Frederick

Special Teams - Hofrichter

By 2019 the roster had actually flipped over and the 2019, 2020 and all future years are actually HCDB's teams in from a player perspective without a doubt.
