NCR D1 Hot 100: Scrumhalf and Flyhalf

We wrap up the top backs in NCR D1 with flyhalf and scrumhalf.

There is some real talent in here and even some standouts from teams that struggled to find wins.

Fall 2023 NCR D1 Hot 100: Center

Fall 2023 NCR D1 Hot 100: Wing and Fullback

We have seven at scrumhalf and 10 at flyhalf. There are players listed who could play in different positions, and have. Just as we listed Tommy Hannon at fullback but he could play and play well at flyhalf and even scrumhalf. 

So we tend to just go with what a player's team has decided. If someone plays primarily with a #10 on his back we go with that.

With a little over 100 players in our list then each position has about seven players (or 14 for the positions that have two, like center or lock). We're a little higher than that for flyhalf and that's not a surprise because when you evaluate your team and put a lineup out there, you pick a guy for flyhalf who you want to see with the ball in his hands. It's looking at the multi-position question from another direction—you might have a player who is, for one reason or another, better suited for center or fullback or something, but you put him at flyhalf because he's the best back-oriented rugby player you have.

Net time up; the forwards.
