I still don't know why Flood put them on a diet.

Up till this year there always seemed to be a lot of rounding up or down to the nearest 5 lb mark. This year's chart seems a lot more specific.

Wow! Cornerbacks at or close to 200 lbs. That should help with run support and press coverage at the LOS, as long as they haven't lost quickness.

 

[Arizona Knight]

We have a B1G DL.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Hamilton will lose that 20, if he stays healthy, by the halfway mark.

Turay seems like a great kid. Is he just injured or what happened?

Seems super athletic but could not grasp when opposing qbs would throw the ball.

Thanks for putting in that work.

I actually didn't notice this when I put the data together because I was looking at the 2016 and delta columns, but you're absolutely right. The roster list from 9/5/15 was all rounded to the 5 (whether they rounded up, down, or to the nearest, I don't know)

For those interested, the biggest transformations on the team (15 lbs or more) were:

DL Ron'Dell Carter (275, +35)
LS Alex Hutchings (228, +28)
DL Jon Bateky (287, +22)
LB Najee Clayton (227, +22) - move from DB to LB
QB Troy Anthony (215, +20)
DT Darius Hamilton (285, +20)
LB Trevor Morris (225, +20)
WR Ntwademela Perry (218, +18)
LB TJ Taylor (223, +18)
OL JJ Denman (321, +16)
TE Matt Flanagan (256, +16)
LB Deonte Roberts (236, +16)
K Michael Cintron (220, +15)
DB Saquan Hampton (205, +15)
LB Isaiah Johnson (240, +15)
DL Willington Previlon (270, +15)
DL Eric Wiafe (295, +15)
.

LB Max Anthony (240, -15) - moved from FB to LB
WR Justice Stewart (170, -15)
OL Skiy Pyrame (262, -18)
DL Kenneth Roman (290, -20)
