With another season approaching and another recruiting class it’s only fitting that the exercise be repeated, especially since the number of newcomers has jumped

The reason being that both sat the entire season for differing reasons, so they’ll be new to the rotation. Also (and again, similar to last year), this isn’t meant to rank the potential of each newcomer, rather it’s based on how much of an impact they can make this year. 9.
