Michigan has 11 to win out this season over Bama. La Tech looks good with three. We had more draftees than: Kansas State, Texas Tech, Baylor, Notre Dame, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, and West Virginia among others. Looking good in Ruston.

I definitely think that can be used in recruiting.Originally Posted by rockdog
Good old Memorial Gym
Holtz has been using the NFL as a recruiting tool and this year should only further that cause. We've been winning with meh recruiting classes so far, so imagine if we can get a good one. Hopefully we keep climbing!
Very impressive list of schools we had more draft pics than.
Now I'd like to see a list just like this covering the last 2 (TWO) years. I'll bet LA Tech would move way up the list with 6 draftees over the last 2 years.
LA Tech also has had at least 2 NFL draftees each year for the past 4 years. We are averaging ~10% of our football classes getting drafted annually. Of course that percentage is even higher when you consider all of the undrafted free agent Dawgs getting signed as well.
The P5s (TCU, TX A&M, MS St, OK St,...) are definitely noticing this and spending more time in Louisiana recruiting.
and Nebraska...first time in 54 years they haven't had 2 or more players drafted.
Another perspective, only 22 teams with more
Michigan 11 Alabama 10 Miami, Fla. 9 Florida 8 LSU 8 Utah 8 Ohio State 7 Tennessee 6 Clemson 6 North Carolina 6 Pittsburgh 5 Texas A&M 5 UCLA 5 USC 5 Washington 5 Auburn 4 Colorado 4 Florida State 4 Iowa 4 Oklahoma 4 Ole Miss 4 Virginia Tech 4
And only 11 teams tying us (thus out of 130 FBS teams, only 22 drafted better, and 33 drafted the same or better; thus we're better than 97 other FBS teams:
Arkansas 3 California 3 Houston 3 Louisiana Tech 3 N.C. State 3 San Diego State 3 South Florida 3 Temple 3 Toledo 3 Western Michigan 3 Wisconsin 3
Who on our current roster right now has a shot next year being drafted?

1. 19 -Ohio State (12, 7)
2. 17 -Alabama (7, 10)
3. 15 -Clemson (9, 6)
-Florida (7, 8)
5. 14 -Michigan (3, 11)
6. 13 -UCLA (8, 5)
-LSU (5, 8)
8. 11 -Miami, FL (2, 9)
9. 9 -Notre Dame (7, 2)
-Utah (1, 8)
-USC (4, 5)
-Ole Miss (5, 4)
13. 8 -ArKansas (5, 3)
-Oklahoma (4, 4)

-Virginia Tech (2, 4)
-Houston (3, 3)

So, Tech is in the top 23 of colleges with # of draft picks over the past 2 years, and is one of 34 schools with 6 or more draft picks over that span, a top 20% stat (i.e. 23/130 ~ 18%).
