Perrins may or may not be a manager for a highly ranked D1 program.. thankfully this league is for fun only because I went through that same manager training and remember that managers are actually considered team members (except tutoring, bowl gifts and any other way the program can hold them down) and subject to NCAA rules.  Therefore, if this were a money league there is both risk and reward involved, so he would be under that umbrella.  There is both risk and reward involved.. it's called pridge, but the NCAA doesn't care about that.  They also don't care about the recruiting violations that John Calipari breaks at every school he's been at or that their newest hot recruit from the Chicago area said they asked for something like $100,000 to play there... Kentucky only mad because they went to the press about it.  Regardless, Perrins is coming off a major year.. for him at 7-6ish.  He's already talking big when he texted me and told me, "I have the best skill position players in the league."  Whoa, easy turbo, you also have the biggest sense of overconfidence in the league.  That's like saying that Kuma's Corner has the best burgers in the nation.  While it COULD be true, there is just no way to prove it.

Too often in this business, we rush ahead to the next big event without taking pause to evaluate the past and learn from it. In a way, this study will still be a celebration of the coming 2009 draft as I believe it will shed some light on certain overlooked trends that no one ever stops to consider. I will begin with a class by class showdown of sorts at the quarterback position over the last 10 drafts.  This is part II in the series:
