This kind of recruiting is not acceptable with the caliber of local talent they have, particularly the amount of kids that got away (many without offers) in PA.
02 - #16 0 *****, 6 **** (kapinos, farris, hali, borgoyn, kanuch, snow)
03 - #50 0 *****, 3 **** (scott, holler, posluszny). (tony hunt next highest)
04 - #12 3 ***** (Connor, Morelli, Harrison), but only 2 4* (Shipley, Sales). Two studs, 2 two yr starters. Harrison, no info?
05 - #28 2 ***** (DWill, King studs), only 2 4* (Sargeant, Hayes both good). Some gem 3*s, but also many misses).
06 - #6 2 ****** (Bell, Logan-El), many 4* (Devlin, Evans, Odrick, Wallace, Quarless, McEowen, Bowman, Maybin, Taylor, Eliades).
07 - #19 0 ******, 12 4* (Colasanti, Wisnewski, Ditto, Dailey, Stupar, Sukay, Szcerba, Still, Walton, Marks, Powell, Moye).
08 - #41 0 ******, 9 4* (Yancich, Zordich, Stankiewitch, Mauti, Wedderburn, Crawford, Lynn, Pannell, Beachum)
09 - #11 1 ****** (shrive), 7 4* (hodges, carson, brown, newsome, givens DNQ, arcidiacano, dukes)
OSU fans would be livid with a few years of this kind of recruiting, let alone over half of a decade.
02 was headlined by a punter.
That 06 class supports the rankings pretty well. That 4* list is filled with strong contributors. Scout.com can't predict that Chris Bell is going to attack a teammate with a machete, or that ALE will quit.
WHen Colasanti, Ditto, Dailey are topping your recruiting class, it is not a very good one.
The 08 class is quite underwhelming as well, particularly when you look at kids that got away like Pryor, Hale, Nix, Baldwin... three to little old pitt.
. Jamal Turner at 11 and Mcvey at 35 are flat out embrassing....Doesn't matter for Turner as he'll be playin in PA this season. Heard being in the top 10 is maybe the biggest reach of all....
