Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
#3 overall recruiting class on Scout for tOSU.
The defensive haul for us was RIDICULOUS to say the least:
5* LB Curtis Grant
5* DE Steve Miller
4* OLB Ryan Shazier
4* CB Doran Grant
4* DT Chase Ferris
4* DT Michael Bennett
4* S Ron Tanner
4* DE Kenny Hayes
4* MLB Ejuan Price
4* CB DerJuan Gambrell
Add onto that 5* QB Braxton Miller, 4* C Brian Bobek, 4* TE Nick Vannett, and 4* WR's Evan Spencer and Devin Smith and this is an outstanding class. Rivals continues to amaze me as to how they have so few midwest prospects ranked in the Rivals 100. They don't give the midwest hardly any attention and ignore the opinions of guys that work the midwest for UM, OSU, ND etc. sites. Rivals is a quality source, but their obvious bias towards the Southeast is quite amazing.
And I agree on Rivals not paying much attention to the midwest. Obviously the Southeast has a lot of talent, but there is also a lot of talent in Ohio and the midwest.Ohio State - Reds - Bengals - Blackhawks - BullsComment

With or without Cy....This Auburn Class is sick talented. Back to back top 5 classes and a National Championship. Safe to say Chizik and Co. are more than capable of going toe to toe with our instate rival. Great day for AU.AUBURN TIGERS

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
D. Smith has as much of a future at Louisville as he has at UCF or Illinois. It's not like Bridgewater is penciled in as a 4 year starter, it's going to be a battle for the top spot.I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
Outside of Ohio State, what midwest school should ESPNU focus on today? The SEC, Florida State, Clemson, Texas, Oregon and USC were all the talk because they got the best players/NSD declarations. They even talked Virginia and Louisville today because they were making moves and some noise.
Who should they focus on? Purdue and Michigan State? No thanks.
They talked about Nebraska moving to Big 10 and the effect it may have on recruiting the So Cal area they did well with for years. Michigan (and ND) was somewhat left out of the talk because they are well, pretty irrelevant lately.
The Southeast US and Texas follow crooting wayyyyyyy more closely than the Midwest. ESPN knows there audience. Smart move on their part.NBA: Celtics
MLB: Red Sox
NFL: Patriots
NHL: Bruins
NCAA: Ohio StateComment

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
Yep. I completely misread his post and went back on deleted my post.
Sorry Buckeyes-Doc. My fault for jumping the gun.
I agree with their statements about Rivals. I live in the midwest and there is some talent around here. No doubt about it."Hard work beats talent, when talent isn't working hard.”Comment

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
My guess is that when/if Smith commits(and I believe he will after hearing some news today), UofL would implement a 2 QB system, much like Florida did with Leak and forgive me Gator fans, but I cannot think of who it was that Leak was a tandem QB with.
In any event, Smith will most likely be a Cardinal and will compete for the starting spot.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread
DaMarcus would have a bright future at UofL. Trust me, I've seen the kid play 4 times this year and he is as good as advertised. Smith is the better QB, while Bridgewater is the better scrambler/wildcard formation/read option QB for the simple fact that he has better wheels.
