Let’s open the season with a hack of a hack – examining Heisman Pundit user MB examining Rivals recruiting numbers were turned into NFL draft prospects – this should be useful when needing to take a flier on someone late or when torn between 2 picks.

I added the coaching history to see where are they now for people who share the credit and the blame, and 2010 unit rankings to get a better sense of how things stand this season: might not be the best year to gamble on any Vandy player until the very late rounds.

To excite you about the 2010 teams at Michigan State and Notre Dame, the Cincy/CMU coaching tree seems to be a good one as far as developing on-the-field fantasy results. Now Boise and Utah aren’t exactly afterthoughts, but Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, and UConn are schools that usually fly under the radar a bit on FCF draft day.

Nevertheless, the numbers below bear out that all these the schools produce guys who produce.

2010 brings lots of new coaches at ‘loser’ schools entering their 3rd season, meaning the guys they recruited in their 1st season are now upper classmen and the old coach’s guys are mostly gone. These teams have guys already on most FCF draft boards, but you/we might move them up a few rounds as they could be in store for a breakout campaign under the new HCs 3rd season.

By these numbers, Big Blue and Team Revellie are bottom of the barrel – they have really excelled at doing less with more. But the fantasy nugget here could be how we tend to punish the son for the sins of the father: keep in mind these numbers mostly belong to Coach Carr and Coach Fran. Sherman and RichRod are each entering year 3 of their system overhaul, and while the on-the-field product the past 2 seasons has been less than stellar, each school should be in for big things in year 3.

Likewise Lil’ Ricky, Big Bo, and Bobby “Mr. I-Love-The-NFL-oh-wait-nevermind” Petrino himself. My favorite is finally being vindicated for my years of vitriol and seeing dem Georgia Dawgs on this list -entering his 10th season, no one else to lay the blame but at the feet of Mark Richt.
