Goofy: "I found this. Not a complete list, but the main attractions..."

Thanks, Goof - I appreciate it. Does anyone know where we can get comprehensive lists of the OSU recruiting classes dating back to like, 1990?

Outside of the various archives from sites like Kurelic / O-Zone I suggest maybe this is a project. I.e. one would have to skim through old print of the Media Guides, Dispatch etc. Whoever does that though would likely earn the gratitude of many an ardent Bucekeye fan.

2001 was pretty damned decent considering that it was completed after a change of coaches in early January.
