was thinking about it but he might not even be the starter when everyone returns..

I think PJ's place will be solely dependent on how Temple decides to run their offense.

Other than that, no real complaints. Most of our (UCF) D is untested so its not surprise that we wouldn't get much love there.

Some mentions that may deserve looking into from you, if you wanted to fiddle around with the rankings would likely be DT Jamiyus Pittman, DT Demetrius Anderson, aaand that's all I can think of. If UCF would play Miles Pace over Luke Adams, his performance indicates he could be an all AAC first team DL.

M. Overton LB ECU should get at least an Honorable mention.

And Trevon Brown WR for ECU should be up there. As a true freshman playing behind Cam Worthy still had 14 rec. for 264 yards, and average of 18.9 (55 long) with 4 TD in only 7 games played. Now tapped as a starter with a year under his belt, don't be surprised if he doesn't flirt with, if not break 1,000 rec.

I don't know enough about everyone else's rosters to comment, but yeah I'd put Jones and Bigger on that list and not sure I'd put anyone else on their currently for us. Brown might end up putting up numbers that gets him on the list after the season, but his production from last year doesn't warrant inclusion preseason.

You should put Jackson Dillion on there.

Kyle Friend is Temple's best player.

Great list. You definitely watch your football, but your selling your own qb a little short.

Oh and Zeek Bigger is top ten. Dude is a monster. Heck he lead the conference this year in tackles with 140.

Don't sleep on Zeek Bigger. He's like a awesomer Jeff Luc

Zeek did make the UF RB crap his pants, literally.

I don't know enough to put together a list like this, but who you chose and left out from ECU seems spot on. I'd say you did a pretty good job from what I can tell.

I do not see the same number of games as Temple fans, but I am really impressed with Matekevich.

If Gunner ends up the #1 player in the aac, then Shaq Washington will be a top 5 player.

Posted from my mobile device using the CSNbbs App

I would replace MeKale Mckay with Shaq Washington. McKay is a deep threat, but he tends to disappear at times. Shaq is Mr. Reliable and consistently moves the chains for the Bearcats. He will finish with the most receptions in UC history when next season is over.

I love him and he's a very good player, but he's laughably overrated by people outside of our program. He flashes and makes some big plays, but he doesn't rack up the sacks and TFLs that other players make. He has some issues laterally and misses tackles on the outside on occasion. Very good player, but there's a reason he's a 3rd or 4th round pick instead of a 1st round pick. Kyle Friend is an absolute stud who doesn't get the press he should.

He will. Won't be close.
