It's absurd for them to claim Vandy was a "loser" in the draft. Very poor analysis and writing.

The basic premise is a bit nutsy. A powerhouse team is going to have substantial losses. The losses from Bama's football team each year are huge, whether they be by graduation, leaving early for the draft, transfer, or imprisonment. But they also reload each year, so what does it matter?

The same publication said VU had the most BA 500 players (9) of any school after the draft, along with the top prospect to make it to school, Leiter.
I understand the premise because Clarke and Demarco are proven guys who could have reasonably come back and been stars.
