I said Ohio State's player average isn't even top five. According to 247, which has Ohio State's class ranked #4, their player average is 9th. Hell, on Scout and 247 both, mythical Notre Dame has a better average.

Alabama, Texas, and Florida State's classes are untouchable. Those are the best classes.

Ratings by people who haven't even seen most of these kids play don't mean much. It looks good on paper to say your school has a top 2 or 3 recruiting class but in reality performance on the field is what counts, look a Shugarts, he was a 5* recruit and he will be remembered only for false starting 2 times every game. While Orlando Pace a 5* was worth every star and more. I haven't seen Khalis play a lot but what little I've seen, he is more Shugarts than Pace so let's respect his choice of schools and see what happens.

But, you don't turn around and talk about blood on the field that isn't yours and bloody jersey's lol...just shut up and move along. I highly doubt other players that have changed their mind and went elsewhere didn't also receive ill wishes (in fact I read about a few that had but don't remember them off hand) and went on the offensive. This guy providing bulletin board material before he gets fitted for shoulder pads lol.

WebFire;1058731 wrote:I don't think he'll start unless he comes in and tears shit up. But he'll definitely be in the 2 deep. At OG they have Barnum, Omameh and Mealer. Mealer is not much of a threat. Omaneh is ok but not great, and Barnum is slightly better than him. I expect Schofield to take over for Huyge at OT. But depth wise, they are hurting.

Tobias Fünke;1058776 wrote:Omameh is genuinely terrific person though. I know him personally. Sad to see him graduate I enjoyed watching him play.

Tobias Fünke;1058721 wrote:Correct, but I am allowed to have my own independent opinion from simply watching film. Florida State's last two classes will put them back to where they were in the 1990's soon enough.

My honest opinion of Ohio State's class is that they have a good amount of bona fide studs mixed in with recruits who simply won't perform at the level Meyer expects. I think a few of the early commitments aren't very good, but Meyer has cleaned up lately getting a mixture of guys that Tressel would have gotten anyway and adding in some studs who wouldn't have looked at Ohio State without Meyer. Meyer is an undeniable celebrity in the college football world, much bigger than Tressel ever was (outside of Ohio).

I expect Ohio State to have the #1 class in America next year, but I think this class has too many mediocre guys to be considered 1 or 2. I simply think that claim is ridiculous. The class that Alabama has is crazy.

Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State on an Ohio State thread. Love it, love it.
