Yeah, consider LSU. #26 at 71% from a unit that ranked 110 in ypg. Is returning production a good thing in that case?
This one at least is a good example of showing that it means something, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. However, you at least know the guys there are the same guys there last year that put together those stats in the same league. Then it comes down to "how much will they improve?" along with "are they talented"?
When teams lose 90% of their roster to the portal/NFL after a coaching change and replace it with 9 portal guys.........they are basically turning over the entire defense. But the current returning production formula Connelly uses treats all those incoming guys from other places as if they were at A&M the year before.

Seems like Alabama turned over a lot of the defense a few times under Saban without dropping very far. When you have a system, and the coaches in place to implement the system, turnover means less.

Prior Year Leaders
Tackles
1. LB Edgerrin Cooper (gone)
2. LB Taurean York (returns)
3. DB Demani Richardson (gone)
4. DB Bryce Anderson (returns)
5. DB Jacoby Matthews (returns)
6. DB Josh DeBerry (gone)
7. DL Walter Nolan (gone)
8. DL Fadil Diggs (gone)
9. DL Shermar Turner (returns)
10. LB Chris Russell (gone)
11. DL McKinnley Jackson (gone)
12. DB Sam Matthews (gone)
Tackles for Loss
1. LB Edgerrin Cooper (gone)
2. DL Fadil Diggs (gone)
3. DL Shermar Turner (returns)
4. DL Walter Nolen (gone)
5. LB Taurean York (returns)
6. DB Bryce Anderson (returns)

So A&M returns 4 of their 12 leading tacklers and 4 of their 12 leading TFL guys and they are Top 4 in returning production in the league? Really?
That's silly.
