Exciting to see different names for everyone's sleeper picks. That says something to the potential of a lot of these guys.

Curious about the "Most to Prove" naming Alex Bars. Did he have a down year or not perform well in the Under Armour game?

He had a rough week of practice at the UA game. More than anything it was because they had such high expectations for him going in.

Jhonny Williams is going to be the biggest sleeper in this class IMO. He and Hill may be my favorite players in this class.

This would be mine with Hill and Williams being 1A and 1B for biggest sleeper. Morgan is MVP because he is at a position of huge need. Blankenship has an unreal upside and could at two different positions (DE/TE). Luatua needs to show that he has the drive to be the best.

What's the difference between "biggest sleeper" and "most intriguing?"

There can be things other than upside that intrigue you.

With Drue, it may be what position he ends up falling into.

I think there is also a distinction between a guy that is intriguing because you want to see how his skills translate at the next level (Hill, for me) versus a guy that you think is going to be better than the amount of attention he has gotten would lead you to believe (Holmes, for me).

I'm with this. Only potential change would be Nelson for Morgan at MVP, but I love Morgan's leadership and football IQ at Mike.

For MVP, we have some good ones but Nelson is my MVP for sure. O-line isn't as big of a need right now, so Morgan is the most important in the short term, but Nelson is our best prospect of the class.

Yeah, I agree with this. My sense of this class, just listening to analysts, is that it has a lot of sleeper, high ceiling guys, much more than in recent years.

Yeah, this is the type of class where a good coaching staff really proves their worth. If some of these guys can turn into stars, Kelly and his staff will deserve major kudos.

MVP: HAYES (think he will end up being the best leader and impact player when its all said in done)
Most Intriguing: Morgan or Trumbetti (both because of early impact potential)
Biggest Sleeper: Sykes (huge upside just very raw now)
Most to Prove: Mokwuah (Going to need him for depth early whether he is ready or not)
