While Duke has talent going into next season, we don't know which players will emerge over the course of the year. In all likelihood, the Blue Devils will be the No. 1 team in the country in November thanks to an elite recruiting class joining an already-established group of returning players. After reaching the Sweet 16 this past season, the squad has its sights much higher in 2016-17. The problem is there are only so many minutes ...

A quick glance at the 2017 quarterback rankings tells a lot about how important Tate Martell's Tuesday-afternoon tweet really is. Of the nation's top 15 dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2017 class, only four are uncommitted. Martell, the 5-star athlete from revered Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, leads that dual-threat quarterback list. Of the top 20 pro-style quarterbacks in the class, only one is uncommitted—4-star Jack Sears. In short, supply and demand is not in the favor of ...

Something has to change, and the SEC's head coaches are going to try to lead the charge. "It's alarming how many underclassmen are coming out and not getting drafted," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. "Why are they coming out and not getting drafted? Is ...

The 2016 Michigan Wolverines boast one of college football's best overall rosters, and it's most evident when breaking down the team by each positional unit. Highlighted by a strong defensive line and secondary, the Maize and Blue will be a nightmare to score on. Plus, the versatility of the Wolverines' biggest weapon shored up the unit's weakness. The Michigan offense has a significant question mark at quarterback, but its skill-position talent is a respectable complement to the ...
