Of course Bama comes in at number one with 14 players invited to the combine, and OSU is second with 11. But this is a good barometer of the talent level coming in (and going out). Doesn't hurt to be able to tell future recruits we're creeping up this list. Hope we use this level as a baseline and work on increasing it.
Interesting their analysis on Barkley: Calls out his pass catching and blocking as inconsistent. I thought his blocking was better than inconsistent this past season and what passes did he drop? Rates him as a 7.5 out of 10 (classified as a future all-pro) and says his NFL comparison is Barry Sanders.
