OSU - 11 in Top 100
PSU - 4 in Top 100
UM - 1 in Top 100
Wisky - 0 in Top 100
NU - 0 in Top 100
Weird to have such a good class IMHO and not snuff the Top 100 with any player. Even if we got Hiles we would have missed out on a Top 100. Crazy. Glad stars are not everything. Still sobering. Thankful to have Frosty and this coaching staff to create a team out of these players.- Show previous comments 4 more

@Atbone95 "Not follow recruiting much". That's funny stuff. Good little jab, although not true. I simply used ESPN because the post that was being referred used ESPN. The recruiting numbers actually are less in our favor under 247.
Yes @swmohusker, it was even more sobering to discover that OSU has 12 guys in the 247 Top 100. It boggles my mind how well we are going to do in this recruiting class, yet, still in stars and ratings we still lose ground to OSU. The big kicker for me is how stellar they did at DT and DE. Here we are having Masry with grade issues as the #82 ranked DT prospect while OSU has the #20, #55, # 92 best DT's in the TOP 100 of ALL players. Again, sobering. :-)Yesterday was 9 months of sobriety ... so ... give me a break ... it's a good word for me. I promise though ... I won't use it tomorrow guys. :-)

Just teasing bud. Congrats on the sobriety and hope for you to continue that path. Osu is ahead by huge margins, this class by frost was pieces together in about 2 months, while urb has been working this class for at least a couple years while compiling results on the field at a national level. Give frost time to carry out his vision and time to connect with recruits for a Couple years and we will start competing with recruits. God bless and GBR!!!

@swmohusker, I promise, I'm going to be far more patient then the other knuckleheads around here. :-) I'm so thrilled to have Frost & Co.
So to you and @Atbone95, curious to ask you guys rather then in a thread ... it seems like we usually have 0- 5*'s, 5-7 4*'s and then 10-14 3*'s.
I'm thinking that under Frost we can see the 4* and 3* numbers flip with a good couple of years. What do you think? What needs to happen to get there? We will never have the great recruiting class in my opinion, but we can still be great at developing players with Top 20 classes. If we can restore the OL and DL pipelines then that's when I think we really see the program turn around. So, in future classes, we really need to pick up some decent talent on the OL and DL and get a good pipeline installed here.
