Per analytics guru Evan Miyakawa (evanmiya.com), here is where Gators (and future Gators) ended last season. First thing to know is that there are 2,983 players ranked 1st to last. There are actually more players than that in D1, but that's the number of players that were involved in enough possessions for the overall ranking. There are well over 4,000 players nationally. Haugh: 5th-best player overall, nationally. This makes him the #2 player nationally among returning players for this coming season, just behind Joseph Tugler (Houston). Clayton Jr. : #12 Condon: #19 Richard: #35 Martin: #71 Chinyelu: #339 Aberdeen: #555 Alexis: #601 Handlogten and Klavzar didn't play enough possessions to figure into the overall rankings. If you reduce the number of possessions calculated, you get Handlogten at #114 and Klavzar at #894. Handlogten's number is extremely impressive. Incoming: Boogie Fland, #118 Xaivian Lee: #311 A.J. Brown: #1,146 Expect all of these to rise. Fland got a really high rank even though he was just a freshman. Brown gets good marks for his offense, but his defense dragged his number down. They'll work on that.
If you want to know the very definition of "bad," look at Mississippi Valley State. The worst 6 players in the whole country are all from that one school. Yikes. Makes me think they aren't even offering scholarships.
I wouldn't have guessed many of these results. I value Haugh, but I wouldn't have guessed Top 50. Condon either.
