As much as Meyer likes to rip apart the 2015 class, I believe they still have the potential to have a greater number of major impact players than any of Meyer's previous classes. Of course, everyone has a different opinion of "impact", but I put every recruit in 3 categories: No impact, Some impact, Major impact. Based on a combination of playing time and production, so players like Terry Mclaurin are still only ranked in the "Some Impact" category due to lack of production even with high playing time. 

Not surprisingly, I have the 2013 with the most "Major impact" recruits with 12, with a possibility of 14, depending on what Sprinkle and Hill do this year.

2014 has 11 major impact recruits with the possibility of having 17, depending on quite a few players like Dixon, Booker, McLaurin, etc.

2015 already has eight "Major Impact" and five "Some Impact" recruits with the possibility of having 19 "Major Impact" recruits. It depends on guys like Glover-Williams, Rashod Berry, Burrow, Hilliard, Burrell, and a few more. Realistically, I think the class will end up with somewhere around 15, but that still is a great number.
