That statement is preposterous - the numbers speak for themselves.


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:

1917 (4)
1932 (4)
1937 (4)
1942 (5)
1944 (4)
1969 (5)
1970 (6)
1973 (4)
1974 (7)
1975 (4)
1977 (4)
1995 (4)
1998 (4)
2002 (4)

how many of 1917s were chics 3? a better way to classify that might be total aa's and players whoh made aa
