This post from less than a month ago was downvoted multiple times by the usual blind optimists, even though it was clarified that the question wasn't posed in an incendiary manner. But in less than a month, we've added two more decommits to bump the total to 4. And it's only mid-March.

I'll ask the non-inflammatory question again merely to gauge opinions. Will we break last year's record of 15 decommitments in a single recruiting class with #SWAG16? Yes or no?
It happens fsu had more than 13 in their 2014 class... Oh... UF had more than 15 last year. So did Michigan...

Why would you or anyone else ignore context when comparing these situations?
FSU had a ton of decommitments in 2014 in large part because they pushed out lower-rated kids in favor of premier talents they landed down the stretch after winning a national title. They ended up with a Top 5 class that year. Yearby's one of the few blue-chip talents from your list who flipped from FSU, but they ended up with Dalvin f****** Cook. They pushed out Worton, but ended up with Rudolph and Lane. It's not even remotely a comparable situation.
We lost 15 last cycle from a class that always lacked premier talent outside of the once-outstanding RB group after one of the most embarrassing seasons in the history of the program. We ended up with a class ranked outside the Top 25.
