Visually that's a lot of negative space.  I would suggest adding a team color side border with the team logo on it to frame the content.  Or adding anything, really.
Content is cool.

I think it would be nice to see a description of the player as well what rivals thinks of him in the way of a star or a number.

You may want to add a comparable recruits section to each of the players you have listed.

There should ads in those spaces. We are in between ad deals at the moment, they should appear either this week or early next week.

We're still figuring out how we want to display it, but we are going to display "banners" for each team that include retired numbers and links to those players that include highlights, their Twitter page, etc. Hoping to have that completed soon and use that to fill negative space.

Glad you like the content! Thank you.

If we had more people on board, I would love to do this. I am the only person logging info at the moment. We had people in the past give short descriptions on profiles. Here's an example:

Hoping that as we grow, we will get people on board to help with player descriptions and get that feature up and running again.

Rivals star ratings are listed on player pages. For example, there is a link on Mohamed Bamba's Rivals page on his VC page:

I like this idea! An option to compare multiple players side to side. I'll try and implement that.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Like Crystal Ball on 247?  Something with a format similar to that?

exactly . let the casual school fan know where the player stands ( guess) at that point.
