We've talked about this before but damn Wood River -
So grain of salt, but still pretty bad....
The Soph class is the first year of the covid year IIRC. So you basically have a who class of eligibility being pushed down.
Also that 2019 class has
Henrich
Benhart
Ty
Wright
Piper
Newsome
Johnson
Overall I would say that class had a 13/31 hit rate (41%)... You want to see that number closer to 50%. The other problem is you want to see about 25% get into the NFL via UDFA or draft. I think that number for that class is going to be around 4 with maybe 1 draft pick.
Ideally a standard should be...
30 kids come in
15 are busts because of talent evaluations, injuries, not mentally ready for the jump, etc...
Out of the other 15 half you want to see go to the NFL and of those half you want to see half of them be via the draft.
4 draft picks is what the average top 25 team does a year. Now that includes UGA having 10 in the first round, so it is skewed, but that is how I look at it.
