Last week I broke down how Dan Mullen has done with the challenge of achieving roster balance. Today, I am going back to the roster to analyze it by talent ratings, specifically those of the industry-generated 247 Sports Composite.
Every caveat about recruiting ratings applies, of course. They can be wildly off in individual cases, but they acquit themselves well in the aggregate. By incorporating the opinions of each of the major services, the Composite helps here some. Groupthink even among competing organizations is still a real phenomenon, though, so apply grains of salt as you see fit.
