I have been doing just that - you are the one who is relying on passion.

That statement is preposterous - the numbers speak for themselves.

I don't know if LordJeff follows recruiting nationally, but if the 2002 class is 3 stars-then what classes are 5 star? Miami has had a few sick classes lately-namely the class of 00'-DJ Williams, Jonathan Vilma, Vernon Carey, Willis McGahee,-but other than that class-what are you comparing them do. Yes, we all fantasize about recruiting 10 college AAs in one class, but it doesn't generally happen.

I do follow national recruiting, but I don't know right now if I can name a "five star" class. I would doubt that it's ever happened, or that it ever will. BTW, according to Rivals,
OSU's recruiting class of 2002 was 3.8 stars overall (95 stars divided by 25 recruits = 3.8 average). To say that the class is currently performing at a "three star" level is to dock them eight-tenths of a star - not exactly the huge slam that some of you are suggesting.
I never implied that the class of 2002 would have ten All-Americans; I thought that it might produce four; so far, it has produced one. FWIW, Ohio State has had four or more All-Americans in the same season 14 times:
