huskerfan333157 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 For those that think recruiting sites dont matter I'll give you the top 100 from 2010 to 2015. The people that say it doesn't matter are the people that dont pay attention to college football nor the NFL. Here's some of the key top 100 players in 2015: Derwin James (absolute stud for san diego) Josh sweat Jarret suisham Nick bosa Calvin Ridley Josh rosen Deon cain Preston Williams (was a stud for the dolphins before getting hurt) Kyler murray Christian Kirk Ronald jones Damien Harris Kerryon Johnson Minkah Fitzpatrick DeMarcus hodge Derrius guice Roquan smith Saquon barkley Chris Warren the third Mark Walton Mark fields Jerry tillery Pretty good players. 1 Quote Link to comment

The composite probably is a better gauge. Realistically the classes are pretty comparable overall talent wise. Bodes well Quote Link to comment

C-4 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 If you look at the list of players above, they’re from all over the field, nearly every single unit... except there’s no or virtually no offensive lineman. This is how recruiting rankings always go: offensive lineman are ranked much lower than their peers, even if they are better players. This is why recruiting class ranking have a big disconnect with how good each class actually is. Teams like Wiscy and Iowa load up on line recruits, specifically OL. Their rank drops even though they actually have great recruits. Then we laugh at their rankings... but then they crush us because they recruited the most important unit in football well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

There are a number of O lineman on that list. O Line is certainly the hardest position to project, but the top guys still turn out very good alot of the time. Quote Link to comment
