Phil Steele lists returning AAC Starters for 2015 per team

[Knight_Light]

Phil Steele, probably the most respected and usually the most accurate in regards to team/conf predictions, takes a look at all teams in regards to the number of projected starters coming back next year.

Steele is a regular guests on most national radio shows...and one of the most common questions he gets is how and more importantly WHY does he spend so much time researching/studying G5 programs (most national syndicates usually just focus on Top 40 P5 programs).

These are obviously projected starters...but its pretty easy to see on paper which teams will have a lot of starters back for 2015 and which ones don't.

The ranking number is based on all Div I-A Teams (128 programs now?)


2) Temple: 19
10) Tulsa: 17
29) SMU: 15
29) Tulane: 15
42) UCONN: 14
58) Houston: 13
79) Cincinnati : 12
79) USF: 12
100 ECU: 11
100 Memphis: 11
100 Navy: 11
121 UCF: 9

Here's the link where Phil breaks them down by postion/offense/defense for the G5 conferences

Thanks...found an interesting thread on the AAC Board on this topic/info/link...thought UCF fans would be mature enough to discuss it (and they are, in the Dungeon).

Thanks for proving that fact again.

LOL, he really is. Just like he's doing with basketball now. He's like the typical Obama supporter - finds whatever way he can to support and spin, even at the expense of the future of the program.

Just once I'd love to see this guy's say one thing critical of a coach or AD decision.

Too bad you don't read posts...because if you did, you would find/see your answer for the above.

Bummer that you didn't click on Phil Steele's info...but I'm not surprised.

PS. If you want more serious discussion without non-fan trolls, join the dungeon.

With teams like UCONN, Tulane, and Tulsa, regardless of starters UCF must be bowling every year.
The low bar is a bowl every year regardless in the AAC.

Tulane and Tulsa are in the AAC West Division...so as of now, UCF will play those teams just twice every 4 years.

And yes, I hope UCF goes bowling every single year....even though UCF plays some of the toughest non-conf schedules amongst AAC teams.

So your the one that knows the difference from a Republican supporter and a Democratic/Liberal supporter like yourself?

If so...do tell.

K_L is definitely an Obama supporter. Attendance is his thing.

That must make me the satano-anarcho-libertarian supporter...chaos is my thing.

Just to show you how bogus this article is I've attached the depth chart.

Bottom line is 2 WR and 1 OT on offense
1 DL, 2 LB and 4 DB/SS on defense.

Now if we look at the depth chart the OL loss isn't like last season.
The WR is still our greatest concern on offense AND
the DL isn't a concern at all and we have depth on D but
will be monitoring the defensive backfield.

The 9 total starters number is BOGUS !!!

Really guys!? This is what you say when someone posts FACTS? This board is really going downhill! Knight Light post facts from a very reliable source and then he gets attacked. I'm shocked by how childish some people act on here! Here are some of the quotes,

Knight Light- "These are obviously projected starters...but its pretty easy to see on paper which teams will have a lot of starters back for 2015 and which ones don't." (facts)


Cnsaguy- "Good 'ol KL, attempting to set the bar low in January" (opinion)

*In case you didn't know, returning starters plays a HUGE role with the success of a team.

C-Mont- "LOL, he really is. Just like he's doing with basketball now. He's like the typical Obama supporter - finds whatever way he can to support and spin, even at the expense of the future of the program. Just once I'd love to see this guy's say one thing critical of a coach or AD decision." (personal attack)

What's your issue? Why the attacks on someone that is a UCF supporter?! You said, "Typical Obama supporter". What does that mean? I don't know where KL stands but I will say you are 1/2 right. He is a "supporter", but of UCF. That is what fans are suppose to be! Positive and enthusiastic about what's going on, not a negative Nancy.

fan- (noun) 1. an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or performing art) usually as a spectator. 2. an ardent admirer or enthusiast

One more question C-Mont, you said, "finds whatever way he can to support and spin, even at the expense of the future of the program." Do you really think KL is effecting the future of the program with the way he thinks and "supports" the program? Lol

KL- thanks for the article. Knightvision82, i liked your article too and I agree, it is crazy that we only have 9 projected starters for 2015. I really liked the depth chart that they showed.

No prob...as there are good fans (like you and others) on this board too that like to discuss UCF Sports.
