2011 Rivals/Scout/etc. National & Regional Rankings

[Magua]

Correct.
But you'd also be coaching against Saban, Miles, Spurrier, Meyer, Tubbs/Chizik....etc

Slightly better at their jobs than Ferentz, Bielema, Rodriguez....no?

You left out the winningest coach in NCAA D1 History - Joe Paterno!1!11!!!

The dead don't count.

 

[TDunk]

I don't think the SEC can match up with our coaches though.

We've got the Don of the organization: Paterno and his number 2 (not that one) Dantonio

We've got a 92 B1G COY winner: Ferentz

We've got some sort of hitman: Kill

We've got the greatest scholly offerer ever: Zook

We've got a coach who makes women throw up: Bielema

We've got one coach who goes by two names: Hoke and Hope

Plus we have the world's greatest volleyball friend: Wilson

We've got Edmunds' and Ellas' son: Fitzgerald (How did a lady and a ship procreate... Slow and ploddingly)

and also some chap named Tressel.

Rivals team recruiting rankings by position:

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1185470

QUARTERBACK

Braxton Miller

Cardale Jones
2. OHIO STATE

Miller could be the quarterback of the future for the Buckeyes. He's the top-rated dual-threat quarterback nationally and has been a high priority for Ohio State for some time. Picking up Jones late was another good sign because the Glenville star has all the physical tools.

TIGHT END

Nick Vannett

Jeff Heuerman
2. (tie) OHIO STATE

Vannett is a big pickup for the Buckeyes and his commitment stuck since last summer. His offer list was extensive and rightfully so. Heuerman can split out wide and do a lot of things. Even though he has great size, he's not slow and can be a mismatch problem.

LINEBACKER

Curtis Grant

Ryan Shazier

Conner Crowell

Ejuan Price
2. OHIO STATE

The Buckeye class is headlined by Grant, the nation's top linebacker and No. 2 prospect regardless of position. He made Ohio State fans sweat things out before making a signing day decision. Shazier may have played defensive end in high school but showed potential at his new position during the Under Armour week.

 

[BuckTwenty]

Nice to see our TEs get some recognition there. They make up an underrated aspect of the class we just brought in.

 

[BigWoof31]

Laugh all you like, their careers indicate they're superior to everyone in the Big 10 except Coach Tressel and Paterno.

NoD with 7 DEs?

DEFENSIVE END

1. NOTRE DAME

Though some will likely play linebacker in the Irish 3-4 defense, there is no denying this is one of the most dominant jobs a team has ever done recruiting one position. Five-stars Tuitt and Williams, and Rivals100 prospects Lynch and Councell were all huge gets. Nobody else was even close to Notre Dame at this position.

Ishaq Williams

Stephon Tuitt

Aaron Lynch

Ben Councell

Anthony Rabasa

Tony Springmann

Brad Carrico

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Holy crap. Hopefully we'll be able to haul in some talent like that next year.

 

[colobuck79]

This just in: Notre Dame to convert to a 7,2,1,1 defensive scheme for 2011. God help us all.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Holy crap. Hopefully we'll be able to haul in some talent like that next year.

I know, if only....

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

I meant hopefully we'll be able to haul in all the d-ends that we would like to take. Washington, Wormley, McMullen, etc.

I believe all of these guys are as good as Notre Dame's haul.
