With the departure of Epitropoulos from the team, I decided to look at the skill position players from the last three recruiting classes to gauge their impact on the program. Focusing solely on RB and WR, there were five players in each of Meyer's first three classes (granted the players in the 2012 class weren't really recruited by Meyer).

2012 - Warren Ball, Bri'onte Dunn, Frank E., Michael Thomas, Ricquan Southward

2013 - Ezekiel Elliott, Dontre Wilson, James Clark, Jalin Marshall, Corey Smith

2014 - Parris Campbell, Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown, Johnnie Dixon, Terry McLaurin

It appears that the 2012 class may be destined for minimal impact. Two players, Southward and Epitropoulos, have left the program. The other three have all redshirted and have not contributed meaningful minutes yet. We have not seen much of the 2013 class except for occasional glimpses of Elliott and Wilson. This year they may become major players. As for 2014, obviously we know nothing yet but we have high expectations.

So the question I ask is the following: If you had to make a prediction, which class of players will have the greatest impact by the end of their time at OSU?
