This is NOT a top-25 team. No way, no how. Top 45 maybe. And Austin Jones is losing weight.

Well, at season's end this could be a top-25 team--if the defense improves significantly over the past few years--but I agree it's not likely. 

But why is Austin Jones at 5' 10", 190 lbs so concerning?

It's not. He purposely lost it to be more explosive.

Stupid me. I always assumed that runners become "more explosive" by developing lower body strength, as in putting ON muscle weight (quads, etc.). Think Rickey Henderson of base-stealing fame. Thanks for the insight!  (I'll share it with Rickey.)

if Austin Jones is 5'10" and 190 pounds then according to gostanford he is similar in size to the last year height/weight of

Bryce Love - 5"10" and 202 pounds

Christian McCaffrey - 6'0" and 200 pounds
