"Power 5" teams with less players on NFL rosters.

[Apis Bull]

 

We all know that there are teams in the Power 5 conferences that wouldn't be if they were to pick them today, but they are not going to kick them out.

...or are they after these numbers go public?

 

 

These numbers are public.

These numbers are public.

So everyone knows this and we're still not in the P5?!?

Important stat when used for recruiting.  "SEE" USF puts a lot of guys in the NFL !  I know I would use it as a talking point.

[hm101]

 

USF has 19. 

...

Again, my point is there is nothing special about the Power 5 label. It's not an opinion, it's a fact: USF has placed NFL talent better than these programs. USF can and will compete with these schools, regardless of the label people give them and give us. 

 

Happy Friday.

Actually, that is an opinion ...

 

See the colon... the fact is that we can place players in the NFL. This can be a recruiting tool and it is statement about our talent.

 

It's not just USF I'm making a statement about. It's the ridiculous notion that a quarter of these "p5" schools are superior in some way. We out attend, out-recruit, and out-draft some of these guys.

 

Some other notable numbers:

Cincy: 25

UConn: 23

SDSU: 21

Fresno St: 24

I'd prefer not to see your colon.

According to your logic, players should chose UCF over USF. After all they have 21 where we only have 19. They out attend, out-recruit, and out-draft us.

 

 Stats are fun. Like Greg said wait until September.

Thought that may have been what you were referring to. Instead of "It's not an opinion, it's a fact:", probably should have used "This is not an opinion, it's a fact:" if were going to structure it like that.

Having prominent players in the NFL like Jason Pierre-Paul, having first-round picks like Mike Jenkins, that's important in recruiting. Kids want to know a school can be a path to success in the NFL. Especially on defense, USF has established that. Offseason roster numbers aren't as important as having visible players in the league.
