2024 Final AP Ranking

We came in at #23!

What an amazing season!

Yes it was. It's crazy to think about, but we'll be looking at almost an entirely new team next year. No Ricky White, Woodard, Catalon, Baldwin, Oliver, Elad, Grimes, Doyle, Burrell, HM Williams, Mani Powell, Ballungay, De Jesus, Camac, Chittenden, Shanks, St. John,

We do still have (I think) McDuffie, Jet Thomas, Correa, etc, but a lot of the guys names that we were used to hearing this season will need to be replaced.

This is the wave of the future in the NIL era. More so for G5 programs

Yeah it makes it hard to get real attached to a team as you are now rooting for laundry and not players. If we won a natty in basketball next year with an entirely new roster would it be awesome? Of course! But the same as 1990? No, not even close.

Guys like Ballungay and Shanks are the rare exception. 4/5 year Rebels. There should be a a plaque with the names of these guys hanging in the Fertitta complex.

From 87, you knew who the funny guys were, you knew who the serious guys were. We just knew their personalities, we knew that Richard Robinson loved heavy metal. We knew El Hud was a showman. You just saw personality.

It’s not that current guys or past guys aren’t good dudes, but you just don’t know it. They’re short timers. You don’t have a chance to know them. They’re here, poof, they’re gone.

I really miss that part of the game. Camaraderie is so fleeting and without much depth because it takes time to develop. Between that and atmosphere at games, that’s what I miss the most and it makes the game unrecognizable from decades ago.

I wish we could do a reverse Nil for Rebels that make it 4-5 years and contribute heavily towards its success.

Absolutely, you became more attached to players. Now other than Woodson and RW it is rare to get that same attachment because here one day gone the next. We have Thomas here two years and it is a surprise to everyone. If Moses Scurry or Dickel or AM or MB walked by I would know who they are immediately. 4 years from now if Rishwain walks by I wouldn't be able to name him if you paid me.

What an amazing season!

I was surprised to see Boise at 8. They had them ahead of other CFP teams SMU, Indiana, Clemson and Tennessee. Shows how close we were.

Got so attached to Woodard that I called him Woodson 🤣

I didn’t know if it was a player I couldn’t remember. I still know one basketball player as WVU and Gorman versus the one guy from WVU. Sad that learning their names isn’t a priority now.

Lol that's ironic. It was a typo though I know his name lol.

I would have never thought we would be ranked top 25 in the final rankings.

Great for program visibility going into the off season!

 

[Masked_rebel]

Now Mullen needs to use all his juice to get us ranked in the preseason Top 25...

 

[Rebel1986]

Use all the juice to get a top 25 ranking!
