Now if only 49ers could win all their OOC games... we'd be golden!! :)

If we get good QB play this year, I think we'll be a pretty decent team honestly. We have good talent at the skill positions. The defense isn't amazing, but there are a few really good players on that side of the ball too. They often got exposed in the 2nd half of games last year because they were just exhausted from being on the field so much due to inept QB play.

Hopefully Kevin Olsen lives up to his top 5 position ranking in high school. If he can sling the ball down the field and open things up for Khalif Phillips and the 4 star RB we signed (forget his name), we should have a pretty dynamic offense.

Why is Louisville considered a G5 school in this poll? Did the ACC get bumped back to G5 status and I not hear about it?

1.) Why is Louisville in this list?

2.) Unless you are UConn, Louisville, and Southern Miss on this list, I'm not certain return a lot of last year is necessarily a good thing ("Yeah, we at UCF are returning a lot from a team that couldn't win one single game..."

Return a lot from a division winner, good for you. Return a lot from a bad team... Maybe some improvement? Context is important here.

This and $.69 will get you a cup of coffee...

Am I right in thinking that, according to this list, FAU is returning the most lettermen in the nation at 84.9%?

Yes we only lost 12 players to graduation.
With the few years of recruiting we have had we are going to be real good this year.
We are flat our loaded with talent his year.
