I did not see this posted so thought I would post. At first I thought it was pretty cool but I see a couple players listed twice, Gibbs is on here and he won't return, and Coutts from Louisiana is now at California.

I think Stringer being rated #99 is a mistake. He is the best open field tackling LB that I have seen in a while. And while I certainly like 3 of our big men being ranked high, Johnson above Nunn? Hope he is that good.

Gibbs at #25

Taylor Lamb is listed at #33.

Oops, didn't see that.

So if you assign a weight that runs counter to each ranking number and total them for each school, you would have a fine experiment to see the correlation between perceived talent that has seen the field (versus subjective recruiting rankings) and wins.

For your quick reference enjoyment, 12 App players on the list (not including Gibbs):

2. Colby Gossett
3. Clifton Duck
8. Jalin Moore
17. Eric Boggs
18. Vic Johnson
26. Beau Nunn
31. Tee Sims
33. Taylor Lamb
35. Shaedon Meadors
44. AJ Howard
49. Myquon Stout
99. Devan Stringer

I can see all of these gentlemen having a good season. Is it September 2nd yet?

30% of the top 10 players and 24% of the top 25 (if you remove Gibbs and bump Nunn up 1 spot).

Ditto on Stringer. Not sure I'd trade him for any other Sun Belt outside LB.

Another way to look at it is that we return 13 starters, and 12 of them are ranked (including 11 in the top 50). Only Caleb Fuller left off.

So unless you think we don't have any good young players ready to step up, there's a good chance this list might actually underrate us.
