The first year of Lemming's Prep Report was 1979, but it does not appear to include recruiting rankings from what I can find. Numerous sites report that the first rankings appeared in 2000, but as I show above, UPI published a qualitative ranking earlier. I guess the point is that, given the points I substantiate above, it would have been impossible for him to be a 5 star recruit. Similar to claims or allusions during broadcasts about his feats at Ohio State, it would seem to be fiction.

"...except I absolutely fucking sucked at throwing a football, so that made it tough. It was definitely hard to keep my swagger when defenders were pinning their ears back to pick the ball off every time I hopelessly flung it into space. I had to rely on my physicality and moxie."

Guys, guys, why the vitriol? Everybody knows that if your dad played and later coached with the late great Wayne Woodrow Hayes at OSU, then you are automatically and retroactively tagged a “5 Star” recruit. He’s just stating the obvious.

which is funny after hearing him on the Fan this morning. Where he threw his dad under the bus and painted him as a horrible dad and blamed all his shortcomings on his dad divorcing his mother.
This guy is absolutely a piece of shit.

I heard that but also learned that he dealt with many emotional issues as a kid through his parents divorce when he was young and moving around a lot, attending 8 schools in nine years.

BTW, he was a big recruit his senior year of HS.

If I can't scrimmage, I can't scrimmage man. If I'm hurt, I'm hurt. I mean … simple as that. It ain't about that... I mean it's... It's not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean... But it's...it's easy … to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about scrimmage. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about scrimmage. I mean, listen, we're talking about scrimmage, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about scrimmage. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about scrimmage, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about scrimmage. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about scrimmage man. What are we talking about? Scrimmage? We're talking about scrimmage, man. [laughter from the Buckeye Planet crowd] We're talking about scrimmage. We're talking about scrimmage. We ain't talking about the game. [more laughter] We're talking about scrimmage, man. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right? But we're talking about scrimmage right now. We talking about sc... [Interrupted by Honor&Glory].

Honor&Glory: But it's an issue that your coach continues to raise?

Man look, I hear you... it's funny to me too, I mean it's strange... it's strange to me too, but we're talking about scrimmage man, we're not even talking about the game... the actual game, when it matters... We're talking about scrimmage...
