You throw in Antonio Brown from CMU on the list but keep off Bryan Anderson? Brown’s teammate is 90 catches from setting the all-time NCAA career receptions record. A feat he has already done once in his career…

And with a healthy LeFevour the whole year…look out for both to be big.

Two thoughts to all this great feedback:

1) Meier was an oversight, and given graduation he should do similar numbers. Stay tuned for the updated list.

2) Well constructed arguments for Tate, but they all look only at past data - lists like mine aim to look forward. I wish it were as easy as just ranking last year’s top players who return so there has to be perception and a thesis.

Much love to you all who care enough to comment.

Maybe you should. Over the past 15 years, since the start of the 1995 season, only two players in all of baseball have more hits than Anderson: Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. During that same time frame, Garret leads all of baseball with 500 doubles. Could be argued that he is one of the best hitters in all of baseball

Stumbled on your site quite by accident, I’m glad I did. I’m always on the lookout for a new football resource and your site really fit the bill
thanks,

Hi Amy, I’m pretty sure that’s a typo.

The Houston running back’s name is spelled Bryce BEALL, not Bell.

Comment on Will Real’s Spending Splurge Lead To Victory? by exposrip

I think you’re right on the last paragraph. But like you said, it can work.

You don’t win anything without defense though. Even Barca understood this in the final against Man Utd.

Fabio Cannavaro made an interesting comment about his time at Real. When asked why he wasn’t as dominant as he was in Italy he said that a great defense starts with a team willing to defend as a unit. If you’re mids don’t come back to help out you’ll always be at a disadvantage. And that’s what happened at Real - and I don’t see this changing.

Very good article. Truly well thought out and insightful.
I agree with you that the “galacticos” system was not a failure from the beginning. Figo and Zidane in midfield with the rest of the Madrid team worked perfectly. The Raul and Morientes partnership also worked very well. When Ronaldo came to replace Morientes, a bit of balance was disturbed, but it was still a good signing as Ronaldo was the best striker in the world. However, the signing of Beckham led to Madrid’s downfall. Before with Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo, it was still about football first, marketing second. With Beckham, it was just about $$$.

So I think if the current Madrid side integrate Kaka (Zidane) and CRonaldo (Figo) in, it may work. I’m not saying they are as good as their predecessors but they play in similar roles. As long as Madrid signs a good defensive midfielder and get a good back line, Madrid has every belief to challenge for the big honors.

But next season, I still think Barca will beat them to the league. It’s not that I think Kaka and CR will be bad, but I just think that Messi, Xavi and Iniesta are just as( if not more) skilled and work better cohesively.

Real seems more interested in merchandising and marketing its brand than building a team.

I still can’t see how they’re better than Barcelona and I agree they aren’t necessarily built for Champions League.
