06 Recruit Emfinger Rankings

[jwinslow]

Here is the updated (today) list of Junior Ratings by Max Emfinger, who is pretty good though he's often accused of being biased to the south (which speaks highly of our northern guys at the top of these lists).

I've tried to include the recruits that are being recruited the most by OSU or are interested in OSU (I also included Rolle just for comparison)

[Highstreet]

He has someone helping him with the midwestern names this year...

 

[Alan]

agreed highstreet....i think max has someone in place for the midwest finally.....and a pretty darn good one at that....

 

[akronbuck]

he might be taking tips from lemming/nd

I hope he's right about all those ohio kids

That would be the best class of Tressels by far. He cleans up ohio o.k:!

 

[Highstreet]

he might be taking tips from lemming/nd

I hope he's right about all those ohio kids

That would be the best class of Tressels by far. He cleans up ohio o.k

He is just not as familiar with the midwest is all... he will admit too that...
It is looking good for Ohio this year and next. There are at least 5-6 solid guys in the initial top 100 (juniors-to-be) that will be making an appearance soon in the Sporting News.

 

[akronbuck]

the o-liners alone stand out.. Brown ol/dl might be in the same mold O. PACE was in but, with all these other top o-liners fron ohio he could play d-tackle easily and open a spot for one of those other top liners

Chris Wells is not a FB

browning glenville pipeline to OSU is listed as dl and ol with diff, size

 

[jimotis4heisman]

maurice clarett was considered a fullback also

​

You'd think whoever compiles this information might notice that his measurements aren't exactly consistent. He must be on the Oprah/Kirstie Allie diet. :)​

(His BP thread says 6'4:, 290 lbs.)​

 

[akronbuck]

ya your right about slowett I just don't mention his name.

one of lemmings late finds:! never listed him in his top 100 until , his last few rankings

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Strike that. Akronbuck got me by five minutes.

FREE SAFETIES (23)

​

Mario Russell 6-0, 185, 4.45, Columbus Mufflin, OH 22nd
​

I'm not familiar with Mufflin High School, although I am far too familiar with Mifflin High School.

 

[akronbuck]

was that Russells brother that played for scummie?

 

[Highstreet]

If you look at the whole database there are many errors like that... The 6'4, 328 is closer to what is actually Brownings current size

 

[Hodgepodge]

Plus, Mario Russell plays at Independence, not Mufflin/Mifflin. He played at Mifflin his first two years.

JuJuan Jones plays in Georgia and doesn't even play football anymore. He was at Sidney his first two years.

His offer lists are a bit short on accuracy as well.


Emfinger has little cred in my book.

 

[Highstreet]

Emfinger has little cred in my book

He definitely has less cred than Rivals or Scout...But he does know his football. that is for sure. He may spell some guys names wrong and have some outdated info in his database, but for the most part he is sharp like a fox. His is a one man show and he can tell you LOTS of things about the recruiting industry, recruits, and their coaches...It is amazing the stuff the guy can remember.

 

[Yertle]

Any reason why Dimetrious Jones and Isiah Williams were left off? They seem to be the two QB's that we're recruiting the hardest - considering they are the ones with the official offers.
