I thought Id' show a position-by-position breakdown for the roster beginning next year (classes shown are next year's). I realize a lot of players are young and havent' done anything, but I must say it looks good. BTW, I wonder whether Ginn will move to CB and Frost back to DE.

Terry's played all year, so take the RS designation off of him.

I think Ginn's fate will depend on players such as Holmes (NFL?), Jordan (health-his uniform is his jersey, jeans, and a backwards hat), and Dukes (progress). I think the staff would rather have Teddy be like Gamble 2003 (almost exclusively CB) rather than the 2002 version (100+ plays a game). He'll get his touches on O though.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I agree wholeheartedly.

Add the OL recruits we've landed recently and the amazingly promising set of RBs that have OSU on their radar (including top recruit RB Stewart), and Ohio State will be dancing in the BCS for years to come.

So who are the two you were referring to in your original post?

According to TheInsiders
2002 = Mike D'Andrea
2003 = Donte Whitner
2004 = Ted Ginn

According to Rivals we did not have a #1 prospect in 2003, however in 2002 Maurice Clarett was our #1 prospect as a FB.

Its so hard to measure a players worth before the jump from HS to D1A, so I'll take any creditable rating services opinion for the #1 string. Rivals or Insiders. I'm not going over the cliff yet with TL.

Sorry, it was a question not trivia. Didn't intend to mislead anyone.
