College Football Recruiting 2012: Recruiting Classes Most Likely to Bust

Ah yes, on every national signing day each coach will give a spiel about how they feel this is their best class or a really strong one. Most of it is basically pure fluff.

The honest coaches and staffs know when they didn't cut it that recruiting cycle. Players can surprise you and be more productive than you hope for, but many programs sign classes that bust.

Here are some that I think could flame out.

Miami

Keith Brown is now committed to Illinois and Jelani Hamilton could or could not be looking around. But Miami does have Duke Johnson and Angelo Jean-Louis in the fold.

However, I just don't think there's a lot more after that right now. Al Golden has three QB prospects committed in Preston Dewey, Gray Crow and David Thompson.

That's three field generals, yet in many various circles, none of them are highly rated or ranked. Golden and his staff will need to pride themselves on teaching and player development to get a max return out of this class

Oregon State

The Beavers class as a whole lacks pizazz. I know you can't and shouldn't judge a class right now, but unless you have a psychic I can speak to, this is the only measure we have.

I have seen 3-star WR commit Malik Gilmore up close and personal, and I do like him. However, I question the 6'3", 200-pounder's deep speed and separation quickness. Those are two no-no's for a WR.

Outside of OL/DL Isaac Seumalo and perhaps Gilmore, there's not much to get fired up about in this class

Arizona State

For the Sun Devils, I just don't see any impact recruits right now. Sure, they have players committed that will produce, but I'm not sure how much.

T.J. Millweard and Evan Goodman are the headliners so far, and while they are talented, the rest of the class is chalk full of 2-star and 3-star players.

The new head coach is going to have to come in hot and fast to lure more talent before national signing day.
