[CTcard]

Well, the real contrast on that list between looking like a player an playing like a player would be #5 Hackenberg vs #15 Vernon Adams.

Hackenberg was a super-heralded recruit of of HS who has played pitifully.
2015 stats include 53% completion rate, 7.0 yds/att, and a PER of 123.
But the guy is brobdingnagian (6'4'', 223#) with a cannon arm.

Adams was a super-unheralded recruit out of HS who has played very well - moving up from EWU to UO.
2015 stats include 65% completion rate, 9.3 yds/att, and a PER of 179.
UO was great when he was in and awful when out.
But, he's a midget (5'11'', 200# - maybe) and has a not-great arm and bit if a weird delivery.

Hogan is somewhat in-between. Hackenberg's size (almost) and measureables, stats more like Adams, but a weirder delivery than Adams and an odd two-game per year spaz-out (2015 that was vs NWU and WSU).
