Yes, there was a brief overlapping moment when the 2014 Army recruiting class was for the most part recruited by former head coach Rich Ellerson and his staff. However, that same group was developed and coached when Jeff Monken and his staff official took over the reins in 12/24/13.
So in hindsight, which recruiting class as the best in your eyes thus far? Obviously the further out it allows for fans to see the full body of work of the players/class and as such, the comparative will be for the 2014, 2015 & 2016 recruiting classes.
