Baylor 2016 recruiting review: Bears' class is small, but it could be mighty

Editor's note: This originally ran May 22.

Recruiting review: 2016 Baylor class

Number of signees: 15

Number of players still with team: 11

This class was hurt badly by the Art Briles firing, with many backing out of their commitments, hence the low number of signees and retention after one year.

Number of players in NFL: 0

By rule, this class is not yet qualified to play in the NFL.

Star of the class: Quarterback Zach Smith

Seth Russell's midseason injury inserted Smith into the starting lineup.
