[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1410658, member: 8500"] IMO everyone here should be paying close attention to Obelix's posts and understand why we shouldn't make statements like this. I will try to add on and say it in my own words (probably not as effectively). There are 3 huge factors that these graphs don't address. 1) Positional gaps. More specifically, positional gaps AT THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT POSITIONS. A real killer. If Trent Frazier is in the same class as Malcolm and Kendrick then Groce is still here. Let's go one further. If Trent and Tilmon are in the same class as Malcolm and Kendrick then we would've been a B1G contender. 2) Not all rankings are created equal. JCL and Ayo were both ranked around the same (35ish IIRC). Any coach would take Ayo over JCL if they had to pick. Other rankings are based more on potential rather than readiness to compete at the collegiate level (Meyers). 3) Age. Experience is important. If BU continues recruiting like the last 2 then he will also be gone in 3 or 4 years. [/QUOTE]
