Bryant was the best freshman in that league. As a transfer he had offers from some very good programs. Not saying he puts us at "an elite level" but consider this: the 2016 roster will have 4 top 100 recruits on the roster, two proven D1 contributors in Davis and Bryant, and other potential talent in Chatman, Kaufusi, and Aytes (we'll see this year how they will pan out).
That list of players has the credentials for an elite team. The toll missions will take on the pruzed recruits is the big question mark. Recent mission results from Haws and Collinsworth provide some hope in that regard.
