You will want to click here to read the full explanation, but here's part of it:
The losses are expressed by subtracting stats relevant to departed players from the team totals for each category. Stats are checked as lost for any player not on the published 2011 roster due to graduation, dismissal, early to NFL, transfer, or otherwise ineligible. Players currently on indefinite suspension are not included, as they usually return to the team later. The survey does not account for players returning from injuries in previous seasons, or redshirts or incoming transfers. Only those players who contributed to the 2010 stats in their category are considered.Got that? Me neither, but now that that's out of the way, Dartmouth is listed with:
"Below average" losses
- offensive starters overall
- offensive line
- running back
- quarterback
- wide receiver
- defensive starters overall
- top 22 tacklers
- defensive backs
- defensive line
- linebacker
- none
What follows is a summation of the losses for Dartmouth and its opponents, but you'll have to click through to see the specific category losses because I don't have the time or energy to type 'em all up:

It's not at all clear how and why players were selected or ranked in the order in which they were ranked but hey, it's something to get people talking. (To check for players from your school, visit the site here and then go over to the left column and pull down the Top Prospects window.

And finally, what is wrong with this picture? Yesterday was the Summer Solstice and That Certain Hanover High Junior has his last final exam this morning in chemistry. As he pointed out this morning, the days are already getting shorter and he's still in school. He said that's just not right and I can't help but agree with him.
