I am mostly reposting this to have it saved on the board. Feel free to comment or suggest updates based on more recent information.
Sometime towards the middle of spring practice, I had ranked our roster for 2015 based on pure football talent level as follows:
1. Khalil McKenzie (speculative, but confident ranking)
2. Derek Barnett
3. Drew Richmond (speculative, with risk; may be closer to 9-10 range)
4. Jalen Hurd
5. Alvin Kamara
6. Cam Sutton
7. Kyle Phillips (speculative, but more confident than with Richmond, especially with Strip as his position coach)
8. Curt Maggitt
9. Todd Kelly Jr.
10. Marquez North (maybe slightly high here)
11. Justin Martin
12. Shy Tuttle
13. Jashon Robertson
14. Dillon Bates
15. Preston Williams
16. Darrell Taylor
17. Darrin Kirkland Jr.
18. Von Pearson
19. Cortez McDowell
20. Josh Dobbs (moved up after spring from about 25)
21. Josh Malone (moved down from #12)
22. Josh Smith
23. Jalen Reeves-Maybin
24. Quentin Dormady (added subsequent to spring)
25. Marcus Jackson
26. Pig Howard
27. Chris Weatherd
28. Ethan Wolf
29. Rashaan Gaulden
30. Eman Moseley
31. Brian Randolph
32. Coleman Thomas
33. Evan Berry
34. Sheriron Jones
35. Jason Croom
36. LaDarrell McNeil
37. Corey Vereen
