It'll be interesting to see how our stock in this category will shoot up after this season. With Hawk, Carp, Salley, Holmes (most likely), Youboty (let's hope not), Pitcock, Sims, Mangold, Schlegel....

Sounds like at LEAST 2-3 1st rounders and a total of 5-6 kids (if not more) being taken on the first day.

This will only help our recruiting efforts of course. :)

Im not sure what the criteria is for this thing(how far back he is looking) can't be too much with usc on there. The fact that Texas isnt even mentioned kinda bothers me, Tenn and USC should not be on the list. Texas has turned out the following in recent years

Mike Williams OT bills
Leonard Davis OT Arizona
Casey Hampton NT Pitt
Sean Rodgers DT Lions
Roy Williams WR Lions
Quinten Jammer CB Chargers
Rod Babers DB Lions
Nathan Vasher DB/KR Bears
Chris Simms QB Bucs
Ricky Williams RB sorta dolphins
Dan Neil OL Denver
That is just off the top of my head
soon to add two top 15 picks with
DJ and Benson

Im not saying that we are Miami or even tOSU but to have us below usc that is on the list because of what they are about to do and Tenn who has 4 players mentioned? come on

Which Football Factory Comes First?

8/17/2007
Guest column by Dan Davis

With the recent advent and advancement of recruiting websites, a new level of competition has been introduced to college football fans. While debates concerning the top schools have raged for decades, fans now have the ability to more accurately measure which college football programs perennially produce the most talent. Which Florida school is really the best: Miami, Florida State or Florida? Which is the better Big Ten school: Ohio State or Michigan?

I have composed a list of the ten most successful collegiate programs since the year 2000 (the 2000 NFL draft, after the 1999 NCAA season) when it comes to generating NFL talent. To measure this, I have developed my own point system. Schools can earn points in five categories.

3) Ohio State

Ohio State falls just behind Miami in sheer number of pros produced with 60.

While the USC-Texas 2005 encounter consistently gets the billing as the most star-studded National Championship game ever, it’s my sneaking suspicion that Ohio State and Miami’s 2003 showdown may have actually been better. Coincidentally, those were the two best National Championship games this decade. It’s hard to argue with the top flight guys Ohio State has churned out: Nate Clements, Orlando Pace, Shawn Springs and Terry Glenn are all Pro Bowl performers. (LeCharles Bentley deserves a mention, because he was well on his way to being one of the best in the game before suffering a career-threatening injury). But Ohio State’s real testament is their emerging talent. Guys like Will Smith, A.J. Hawk, Nick Mangold, Chris Gamble and Mike Nugent are well on their way to superstardom and perennial Pro Bowls.

Draft pick points: 127.5
Starter points: 250
Pro Bowl players: 7 for 110 points
Experience points: 95
Player points: 60
Total: 642.5

From the same website and article

Looking at recruiting classes and draft classes of the past couple years, LSU and USC have the most potential to shoot up the list. Ohio State’s recruiting has been down a bit, while Miami and Florida State have been struggling. Florida and Notre Dame could also make a substantial move if they continue their level of recruiting success.

The lack of seniors from that 2003 class certainly is going to affect this year's draft. I'd call that recent enough.

Maybe it's just me, but chances are he wasn't making that statement due to ONE year of subpar recruiting.........he likely means 2004, 2005 and maybe 2006 as well.....
