After occasionally wondering about changes to the team’s weight, height, roster size and other similar questions, I have begun compiling some data on a per player basis. The data is then assembled into plots for calendar year, class standing (fr, so, jr, or sr), and positional groups etc.
So far I have only put in information from the Spring Prospectus from 2004-2009. Over that time frame the obvious changes are
roster size drop of 20 players
weight increase on both lines
overall height increase in most positional groups
If anyone would be interested in looking at the spreadsheets send me an email address via private message and I will send you the Excell file.
