i.e. not the JUCO kids

For relative simplicity, I would consider 2 criteria, each weighted 50%
1. Importance to the team and program success, with caveat that someone who played 2-3 years in the system would, all things being equal, be rated higher than someone who was only here for 1 year 
2. Pure skill level at the college level

I think I have everyone listed below. I would rank them as such:

1. [B]Wes[/B] (was the best player on a special squad. better pure talent than Gbinije imo)
2. [B]Gbinije[/B] (3 years in system, though ineffective as soph; best player on team Sr. year, but not at Wes' level; vital to team in 2015 and 16; "not 10  games" could apply for 2016; could supplant Wes with deep NCAA run in 2016)
3. [B]Leo[/B] (3 yr do-everything staple, though not pure talent of Wes imo, and no post-season success)
4. [B]Blackwell[/B] (3 yr player, solid not spectacular from day one in Orange. behind Hart and Thomas in importance to team)
5. [B]Ellis[/B] (very talented, but never one of the top two players on team. Only 2 years with program. plus Richmond)
6. [B]Cole[/B] (great practice player I hear)
7. [B]Chukwu[/B] (Incomplete)
