" I know Illinois offers pretty much everybody but that is at least one big 10 suitor there. He has nice size and athletic ability, he was an integral part of a state championship team and his film is fairly impressive IMO. Also, there have been a lot of other legacy players that were not offered like Mike Hartline, Dawawn Whitner, Xavier Hines in this class etc. so I don't know why people assume he was offered because he is a legacy.

Maybe, or schools knew he would be a lock to
OSU after we offered. I think he is a good player, but I'm just trying to look at this from the standpoint of a recruiting service. If your trying to rank kids, you have to take into account who has offered them and interests from schools (considering when they verballed), film, size, in person accounts, other experts, upside, combines, etc. They can't say "I thought the film was average, they weren't impressive in person, but they get 4 stars anyways." I know the sites have a bias towards southern states, California, and Texas that shines through. However, I do feel some
try to stay objective. ESPin is not one of them. However, I do feel that certain sites and writers at Rivals and Scout try to be objective. I'm ecstatic about this class regardless but you have to keep in mind that Luginbill makes a good point when he said that every team thinks their recruits are the best. With all that said, I still think we are going to end up with the #2 class in the country, only behind USC. Also keep in mind that is just right now, before our staff makes some diamonds from the rough. I really like this class so far with it's of speed and athleticism, size, and players from winning teams that are warriors on the field.
- You make a great point on other legacy players though, so I won't argue you there
