Serious question on Treadwell do people select him because of his hs rankings? this is honestly why people claim sec bias, there's at least 3 acc wr better than laquon, how do you explain putting Treadwell over higgins who led the entire nation in yards last year???
I was saying the exact thing in my head. I mean seriously, what in the hell has Treadwell done? I remember just a year ago when they said DGB hadn't been living up to expectations and that's after he had put up over 800 yards and 12 TDs in his sophomore season.
Treadwell was doing pretty decent last year and would have probably finish over 900 receiving, but he didn't, and he got injured. Putting him as a top 2 WR all offseason is setting this dude up for major disappointment if he doesn't come back 100% and I mean mentally and physically.
A guy like Higgins who led the nation in yards, ypg, TDs, receiving plays over 30 and 40 yards, and is the returning leader in receiving plays over 10 yards (tied for 3rd last year with 2 less games than Cooper, and 1 less game than both Hardy and Lockett), and you put Treadwell over him?
A guy like Pharoah Cooper who put up over 1100 yards and 9 TDs plus TDs in rushing and passing? A guy like Corey Coleman that put up over 1100 yards and 11 TDs in only 10 games?
Give me a break. This isn't a pro player list, this is supposed to be All Americans and those are usually based on production, and how well they played. Treadwell was outside the top 50 in ypg, 48th in receptions per game, and his projected TDs would have only tied for 55th.

Ok so the top 4 stat earners at their positions should make up the four teams.

After two stellar WR classes, there seems to be a bit of a drop overall for the position group. I know the Pac - 12 will have a deficit this year unless some players come out of no where.
On the other hand, Royce Freeman isn't a top 8 back and I really can't complain about his exclusion with the names on the list. RB is loaded.
The top end talent this year in its entirety is a little lackluster.
