This ranking is for 2015 only so take your 2018 will be special dooging to the next thread.

My rating system is simple- I guesstimate the delta between each player and his/her backup or the player he/she is backing up. Then I sort into buckets because this is craptastically simplistic.

Category 1: Absolute studs with nobody behind them

1. Buddah Baker
2. Sidney Jones


Category 2: Potential (not necessarily high) to reach Category 1 and also backed up by dreck

3. Travis Feeney
4. JoJo Mathis
5. Elijah Qualls
6. Dante Pettis
7. Ezekiel Turner

Category 3: Established as mediocre Pac-12 starters and, of course, backed up by dreck

8. Jaydon Mickens
9. Cory Littleton

Category 4: These guys are good but their position group is actually somewhat deep and also we never use them anyways

10. Joshua Perkins
11. Darrell Daniels

Category 5: Doogs are hyping these guys but we don't really know yet

12. Will Dissly
13. Najiel Hale
14. Brayden Lenius
15. Azeem Victor

Category 6: These guys are at least mediocre but don't stand out from their backups

16. Dwayne Washington
17. Lavon Coleman
18. Kieshawn Bierria
19. Dexter Charles
20. Siosifa Tufunga
21. Coleman Shelton
22. Deontae Cooper

Category 7: Special Special Teams

23. Cameron Van Winkle
24. Korey Durkee
25. Ryan Masel
26. Tristan Vizcaino

Category 8: No idea but magic 8 ball says outlook not so good

27. Darren Gardenhire
28. David Ajamu
29. Jake Eldrenkamp
30. Dane Crane

Category 9: Capable backups

31. Scott Lawyer
32. Taniela Tupou


Category 9: Only the doogiest of doogs could ever think any of these guys will be difference makers in 2015:

33. Jeff Lindquist
34. Tony Rodriguez
35. Shane Brostek
36. Cory Fuavai
37. Andrew Kirkland
38. Brandon Beaver
39. Trevor Walker
40. Brian Clay
41. Kevin King
42. Marvin Hall
43. Nik Little
44. Connor O'Brien
45. Sean Constantine
46. Jarrett Finau
47. Psalm Wooching
48. Damion Turpin

Category 10: Injured

49. John Ross

    You lost me after category 4.

    Slim it down Tolstoy.

    Not even The Great Sarkisian could trim that much dead weight.

    Good job on the list. My $.02. Doogs are hyping Dissley but you place Turner at #7? I'm not sure Jones belongs at #2 either, but then again, I couldn't find anyone that definitely belongs ahead of him. Hale is too high. Dwayne Washington is too low despite the holes in his game. We don't know much about a lot of these guys. We have some talent, but a lot of these guys haven't done anything.

    Bleacher report is your source for news and perspective?

    I like how Brian Clay (#40) was the starter ahead of Zeke Turner (#7) at the end of spring camp, too.

    Just think how much higher they would be if they had red-shirted last year.
