vickery- D 22yrs 298 days 54 games.
so at the start of next yr we will have.
15 aged 22 or under so half of the available players or likely players are in development age.
1 23 yo .
5 24 yo.
2 25yo.
1 26yo
2 27yo
just 11 players in the most critical age bracket it is a real problem.
2 29 yo.
1 30yo
1 31 yo.
good and bad here the good is we wont have too many retiring on us the bad is a few more around 28 30 would not kill us.
games played
at the start of next yr
13 players will have played somewhere between 0 and 49 games. this will go close to 20 players if we cut the players mentioned and take mostly kids.
10 players will have played 50 to 99 games not enough imo want another 5 at least in this bracket.
6 players will have played 100 to 200 games want double that number.
1 player will have played 220+ plus games.
rankings and yes they are just my opinion but even if i have a third of them wrong the situation is dire.
D = Development players some may be good players already but have only been around 2 or 3 yrs. i have 13 in this bracket and once again that will swell if we take as many kids as we should at seasons end. remember it does not include rookies. im only talking about the list proper.
C = Good solid player. I HAVE 10 IN THIS CATEGORY SOME ARE BORDERLINE BELOW STANDARD SOME ARE BORDERLINE V/GOOD.
B= very good player. JUST 2 IN THIS CATEGORY.
A = ELITE. JUST 2 IN THIS CATEGORY.
BS = below standard. 3 in this category again theres some others in othe categories who are borderline.
to me there is clearly not enough real quality spread thru out the list and clearly brings into question our depth. also even if we were to keep older experienced players like mcguane white and one or two others it will not greatly change the above.
we literally need a shedload of our 22 and unders to come thru and take over but that is not going to happen until they get enough games and experience into them. this is purely a age depth games experience look at it . when you break it down further into typeof player heights positions it reads much the same.
it wont happen quickly and it will only happen if we get recruiting and development spot on.
