He was the first OH player in the scout100 at #11, with donte coming in at #19. However, the national and regional rankings do not always match up (ie Rob Rose not making the Ohio top-10).
Whitner's details from 03 for comparison...

3rd time is a charm! Miami in January!
Ohio's Top 50 in 2003
Yep he was...Disappointing college careers for most in this class (except for Donte and Quinn).

I don't know that I'd go that far. There are obviously a few flameouts in that class, but there are quite a few besides those mentioned above that are doing just fine: Gonzalez, Frost, Wheelwright to name a few.

I agree there are some great players in the class, but it's a disappointing class compared to other Ohio classes.

But I didn't, so it doesn't
Can't believe Barton was ranked 46th, beneath a kicker, no less. I do agree that this class--for Ohio State--is looking below average, due in large part to Hiley, Reggie Smith, Irizarry and Maupin not sticking around, plus the persistent injuries of Jordan and Lukens.
Whitner, Patterson, Barton, and Gonzo have played to (or above) their rankings, and Frost looks to be coming on.

Of course, Tom Lemming has far greater insights into this and that's why he's coaching at, uh, never mind.
A really relevant thought this week. It's not about individual talent, it's how they fit together as a team. Look at the statements that Carps, Hawk, and the others made...what they will miss most now is being with each other and playing as a team. That doesn't just happen, it's coached and created.
