Players emerge at different schools every year. For LSU, Daniels if he starts all season at QB and the team does well. I think Maason Smith could be better overall than Ojulari. Ali Gaye could also conceivably go off if healthy. Bernard-Converse at CB, he was All-Big 12 the past two seasons. Never know who else might take a step forward.

Thoughts on the A&M Players.

Achane is too low. They have some serious disrespect to non Bama SEC backs.

Smith is too high. Stewart not on the list but that's understandable since he's a freshman.

Didn't expect Robinson to be as high, but he's deserving. I wouldn't be shocked to have multiple guys on the list. Our entire line is very good.

Johnson will end up being much higher. He's getting projected to the first round this year.

I also don't blame them for leaving off our DL. The unit is going to be very very good. So much talent.

Where is Myles Brennan? Sidewalk told us how great he was based on his stats from 2020’against MooState, Vandy, and the fighting shite swastikas.

The only significant slights right now could be argued for Roy and Smith on the DL.

Bech, Nabers, Emery, and Gaye could find their way there by year's end, but I wouldn't put them there now nor would I necessarily say that it's a likelihood that any one of them individually will be on it.

I've never said Brennan was "great," I've said he didn't "suck" but never stated that he was some great player.

I thought he would win the starting job but obviously Nuss and Daniels made a jump over the summer and he didn't.

I'm happy with 3 of the top 15. Having a backup TE in the top 100 is pretty cool too.

I consider Bennett to be a more modern version of Major Applewhite.

Not a NFL prospect, but a damn good college QB.

Not saying you're wrong, but there were a lot of people that told this kid he was a damn good High School QB. They just didn't think he would make it at the college level. Now ESPN's got him ranked at the 11th best QB in the country. You couldn't pay me to bet against him.

Not sure why that matters.

Stetson hasn't won conference offensive player of the year like Applewhite did either.

Both are/were outstanding college QB's. Stetson just isn't getting benched for a bigger talent who never performed as well like Applewhite did with Chris Simms.

Neither Bennett or Applewhite are/were game managers. Both are playmakers who simply lack NFL measurables. Comparing Beneett to Applewhite isn't a slight.

Not sure if you're old enough to remember the Applewhite/Simms thing when it happened. Mack Brown made a mistake going with Simms. Applewhite was a better college QB.
