Larry, can you sort the data into a matrix just including the players on our 2009 roster?
In looking through our projected starters, the talent level is very high. It would be interesting to see the star / position rank of our 2 deep.
I'm think maybe not making the whole list colored would be better Larry. Maybe just doing the year and the line for positions, hometown, and the other columns would make it easier to read. That's just me though. Keep up the great work. :rock:
I've got two different views of our roster, just haven't uploaded it yet. I'll do tonight and link it..
Great, thanks! What I'm expecting to see is that our starting line-up talent is close to top 10 in the nation... but that there is a real shortage on talent on the 2 deep and further down, particularly on the lines.
Most of this year's starters are off of the 2007 and 2005 classes which we all know were very highly regarded.
If they were to play up to "potential," we would field a very good team this year barring injuries, particularly on the lines.
you have to be careful with that analysis Jack. Aaron Douglas may likely start at OT. But Aaron was rated a 4 star tight end out of high school. that doesn't relate since he has never played offensive tackle until this past spring. Vlade was a 3 star defensive lineman.
Playing up to potential for a senior or junior is "what have they done college, not high school". By that time, their high school rating is no longer meaningful as far as potential IMO.
I guess my view is fairly simplistic, that we have the talent to be better than a 6-6 squad. Hoping anyway...
