They probably also don't want to realize that their "high" rankings in the past couple of recruiting cycles is more a product of quantity over quality. While tOSU continues to load up with a large majority of 4 and 5* kids, scUM's classes have been dominated by 3* kids with a couple of 4* and very few 5* recruits. The talent gap isn't narrowing...it's actually growing.

I have tried to tell some of my friends - who don't follow the recruiting stuff any closer than the occasional headline - this and they can't wrap their heads around it. But, thanfully, someone on BP put together a graph which showed Ohio State outpaced scUM at every recruit save for 3 - Rashan Gary was, according to the graph, rated better than any Ohio State recruit, and scUM's last two positions on the 85 man roster were better recruits than OSU's last two scholarship spots. At every other roster spot, Ohio State has a talent advantage. Specifically towards the middle of the roster, where the Buckeyes are remarkably better, and consequently deeper. Showed it to some folks as an eye opener.

Shavodrick Beaver actually turned down a scUM offer and went to Tulsa and in the process deprived us of four years of shaved beaver jokes.

I'll never forgive him.

Kinesiology was sick of being the dumping ground for RichRod's future academic casualties. They finally drew the line in the sand with Shav'd and his 1.8 GPA.

The brief version....

Sam McGuffie = Noel Devine
Mike Shaw = fast, fast, fast! (not that speed matters, of course)
Darryl Stonum = Braylon Edwards or Mario Manningham (maybe better than both!)
Dann O'Neill (who?) = "impact left tackle"
Ricky Barnum = "late steal" (from whom? Rutgers? Purdue? MAC school?)
Mike Martin = "low downside, moderate upside" (they actually underrated him - he turned out to be the only star of the class)
Taylor Hill (again, who?) = "edge terror"
Boubacar Cissoko = "a perfect corner"
Brandon Smith = "moderately shirtless" (yes, that's what they said - you figure it out if you can)
Terrelle Pryor = still unsigned (please, please, please, please....)
"And the two slot guys are exciting, man." (their emphasis, not mine)

Overall grade = B+
