How many RBs, before Shelton, has Louisville sent to the NFL(cricket chirp). Probably thousand of examples of kids coming from schools that never before had a kid drafted in that position. No doubt, his chances would improve slightly by being a Buckeye but that's only because he'd get more exposure. He'll still have to prove himself at the workout camps. If he doesn't have the talent, doesn't matter where he goes to school.

I was standing right there when Freddie told Gary, on tape, that he was still planning on going to CCC. It was a great interview...

Wow...its a good thing that Jerry Rice played at a big school... 
There are 11 former Bearcats in the NFL...not a lot, but more then you would have people believe with ignorant, uninformed, unresearched posts.
Trent Cole LB -Eagles
Troy Evans LB - Texans
Antwan Peek LB -Texans
Zach Norton DB -Ravens
Derick Ranson NT -Jags
Jason Fabini T -Jets
Ray Jackson RB -Titans
Robert Tate CB -Cardinals
Antonio Chatman WR -Packers
Blue Adams DB -Bucs
Artrell Hawkins DB -Panthers

Yeah, and we all know how high Rice was drafted...his being a near-unknown at I-AA Mississippi Valley State didn't have a negative effect on his draft position.  Talk about ignorant, uninformed, unresearched posts.
Although Cincinnati may have 11 players in the NFL, obviously they would've been drafted higher had they played at Ohio State instead, with the improved strength and conditioning, coaching, quality of opponents, and visibility.
0-for-2...quit while you're behind.

Plenty of players from small schools ended up high in the NFL draft. I'm sure Alex Smith would've gone higher had he spurned Utah for a BCS school. Ditto for Pacman Jones at WVU (6th), or even DeMarcus Ware at Troy (11th). The bottom line is, if you're a great player you'll be found no matter where you play. I'm sure Ware would've gone higher than 11th had he gone to Alabama |

generally players that go to small schools and go high in the draft have ridicuolous measurables (Jerry Rice is the exception) that get them the attention from the NFL, without the exposure, competition, and training, that playing at a BCS school provides.
This might not be the best example but someone like Desmond Howard for example, was on the biggest stage having huge games against the likes of tOSU, and ND, winning the Heisman etc... but small in size and with avg. speed for his position
If he put up equally large numbers at a MAC or conf. USA school he doesn't sniff the Heisman, he is probbaly a late round pick at best.
