I think you are in the right line of thinking, but here is what I would add.
Impact player doesn’t necessarily mean a 3-down, 65 snaps a game player. Deven Bryant out of Washington is probably not a 3-down starter for USC, but he is a fantastic run-stuffer, and can be utilized in short-yardage run situations.
Fisher out of Penn State is a high-ceiling guy who had more pressures last year than anyone on USC.
VanSumeren, out of Michigan State, will absolutely be a rotational starter on the D-line.
This class doesn’t necessarily have the big-name expensive players, but I do think USC has been very intentional in who they added. Lotta reps and tape.
And yes, it will be a small class. Probably in the 8-12 range, so almost filled up.
