FBS returning production rankings

[Knight Strength]

Louisville returns a ton of production from last year while (as we knew) Cincy lost a lot. Usf also returns a lot but returning all your low production doesn't mean as much as if you're returning high production.

SMU also bringing back a lot of their offense production.

Most importantly the QB. I thought he was leaving but he didn’t.

I told y'all that Louisville was stacked.

In regards to returning production, do those stats account for thr "production" of portal transfer from their previous teams? (i.e. like Louisville's RB Transfer from Tennessee, who averaged 6.5 yds per Cardy and scored 7 TDs)?

It's almost had to grade incoming/returning production till after the upcoming portal transfers that announced after Spring Practice/Spring Semester ad more player movement us coming (like SMU star RB who just announced he was transferring after this semester).

I think it only counts it as returning production if they were on the team last year.

Louisville top 2 RBs in production was freshman last year, and top 4 receivers were underclassmen. I think 1 of the receivers transferred out.

Copy.

I would calculate past production, regardless where they played as that woukd mean returning experience (either good or bad).

With free agency now the norm, once a full recruiting cycle (4-5 yrs) is thru, odds are 40% or more of rosters will be made up by those that transferred in.

I agree. Maybe they have a hard time estimating how much a transfer can produce on a new team, with a new system, new coach, etc.?
